Hunger Action Month

Food shouldn’t be an impossible choice.

September is Hunger Action Month

 

For tens of millions of people in America, a daily meal isn’t a choice between different dishes. It’s a choice between food and other crucial needs—like medicine, electricity, or childcare. This September, join us for Hunger Action Month by sharing how you will end hunger. Sharing, volunteering, pledging, fundraising, and donating are just a few ways to help end the impossible choices of hunger.

This September, choose to stand against hunger.  We challenge you to start a Food Drive and see how much of an impact you can make on your community!

Start a Food Drive TODAY!

Support people who face the impossible choices of hunger every day.

Facts about hunger

  • Forced to choose between food and other crucial needs, tens of millions of people in America are paying to live life by sacrificing food.
  • The Feeding America network will continue to support our neighbors devastated by the pandemic, especially communities that are disproportionately impacted by hunger.
