Hunger Action Month: One Million Actions to Help End Hunger

"The patrons that visit our pantry, we have conversations… A lot of them are sacrificing doctor's appointments… not buying the medications that they need for their diseases because they have to make a trade-off of either buying food or paying for their medication."
— Sophia Blake, Fredericksburg, VA

This heartbreaking reality is one of many ways people facing hunger are forced to cope with rising food prices. Health and well-being are being sidelined, and tough choices are being made between basic necessities. This Hunger Action Month, we are taking a stand against this crisis with a bold new goal—1 million actions to help end hunger.

Sophia’s words highlight a critical issue: “If a person has to choose between medicine and food, we're not in a good place. And we need to fix it.”
We can fix it—with your help.

Federal programs like The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are lifelines for families during difficult times. These programs help keep food on the table, but they need robust support from Congress to meet the growing need. That’s why we’re urging Congress to pass the strongest possible farm bill—prioritizing food security and ensuring that these essential programs are well-funded and effective.

Take Action Today

As Sophia reminds us, “We need to understand that food is medicine.” When people have consistent access to healthy, nutritious food, they can not only survive but also thrive. Food nourishes futures, strengthens families, and helps individuals focus on building better lives.

Join us in our mission to reach 1 million actions to help end hunger. Your voice matters. By taking just a few moments to tell Congress to pass a strong farm bill, you’re playing an essential role in making sure everyone has the food they need to live healthy, full lives.

Together, We Can End Hunger

Your support and advocacy can make a powerful difference. This Hunger Action Month, let’s stand together for the families, seniors, and individuals in our community who are struggling to make ends meet. Help us reach our goal—take action today and ensure that no one has to choose between food and medicine ever again.
