About Hunger Action Month

HUNGER ACTION MONTH

September is Hunger Action Month, when the Feeding America network of more than 200 food banks unite to urge individuals to take action in their communities. How can you help? It’s easy. We’re asking you to simply Speak Out Against Hunger™ this September. Why speak out? Because the nearly 49 million people in America who struggle with hunger often do so in silence. They live in our communities; they are our neighbors, our co-workers, and our friends, yet their struggles can go unheard. By simply lending your voice, you can make a tangible contribution to mobilizing the public in the fight to end hunger.

SPEAK OUT AGAINST HUNGER™

• Find Feeding America and ‘like’ us on Facebook. Then use our Food Bank Finder application to find and ‘like’ your local food bank.
• Share a hunger fact or one of our Hunger Action Month videos with your social networks.
• Go Orange on September 6^th. Wear orange or Go Orange digitally.

Here are some additional actions we are asking the public to take during September:
