Hops for Hunger Story

12 years ago, SACA Food Shelf was on the verge of closing its doors and needed immediate funds. A staff member had a simple idea to host a craft beer tasting fundraiser. With the help of 9 local craft breweries and business sponsors, the first ever event Hops for Hunger was a success. Thanks to the funds raised at the Hops for Hunger™ events, and the support of our incredible community, SACA Food Shelf has continued to feed families in Columbia Heights and surrounding communities for almost 50 years. Now in it's twelfth year, Hops for Hunger is a beloved annual event for brewers, supporters, and craft beer lovers alike. We are beyond excited to invite the community to Hops for Hunger 12 in 2024!
