Each September, Hunger Action Month inspires millions to raise awareness and support our neighbors facing food insecurity. By coming together, we can make a meaningful impact in our communities.

Organizations nationwide unite during this month to take action, share resources, and ensure everyone has access to nutritious food. Your involvement helps turn compassion into change.

Join us this Hunger Action Month: volunteer, donate, or spread the word. Every action counts. Together, we can end hunger.
