Stuff the HUMVEE! Warminster Food Bank & Air National Guard Team Up to Send Food Insecurity Packing
In a remarkable collaboration, the Warminster Food Bank and the Air National Guard came together for the Stuff the HUMVEE! event, successfully collecting over 2,200 pounds of groceries in just three hours. This initiative highlights the pressing issue of food insecurity in our community and showcases how teamwork can make a significant impact.
The event provided an opportunity for residents to donate non-perishable food items, filling the HUMVEE with much-needed supplies for families in need. The response from the community was overwhelming, demonstrating a strong commitment to supporting those who rely on food assistance. By joining forces, the Warminster Food Bank and the Air National Guard are not only addressing immediate hunger but also raising awareness about the ongoing challenges faced by many in our area.
The success of Stuff the HUMVEE! exemplifies the power of community collaboration. With continued support from local residents and organizations, we can work together to send food insecurity packing and ensure that everyone has access to nutritious meals. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this meaningful cause!

“Since many people are on vacation during the summer months, our donations slow down to a
trickle,” said Mike Cerino, Director, Warminster Food Bank. “Yet the need remains, no matter
the season. We are extremely grateful the team at Giant Supermarket of Warminster, Biddle Air
National Guard and members of the community who made donations today to help Warminster
