Hunger Action Month, recognized by Feeding America and food banks nationwide every September, is the perfect time to renew your commitment to fighting hunger (or make a new one!). This month-long campaign aims to raise awareness of hunger in our country and promote ways for individuals everywhere to get involved in fighting it.
This September, we invite you to learn more about the issue of hunger in our community, as well as share your support for and get more involved with the Food Bank’s mission. Check out our suggestions below for taking action and making a real difference to help your neighbors.
If you haven't already, subscribe to our email list and follow us on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram to stay in the know!
Roll up your sleeves and sign up for a volunteer shift with the Food Bank! From sorting and repacking donated food, packing senior boxes, supporting food distributions, and more, there are a variety of opportunities for you - as well as your friends and family - to choose from.

Could you eat three meals a day on just $6? That’s the average SNAP benefit per person, per day—what millions of Americans must stretch to feed themselves.
This Hunger Action Month, take FRAC’s SNAP Challenge to better understand the tough choices families with low incomes face and raise awareness about the need to strengthen SNAP. Spend only $6 per person, per day on food for a few days or a week, then share your experience with friends, community leaders, and policymakers.
Your voice can help ensure everyone has access to the nutrition they need.
