February is Black History Month. We encourage you throughout this month to take this time to follow in the words of President Ford:

...seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout history.

- President Gerald R. Ford

We encourage you to support Black leaders who are joining us in our fight against hunger and learn more about how hunger impacts Black communities.
