September is Hunger Action Month–Every Action Matters
Food should never be an impossible choice. For many of us, deciding what’s for dinner is a simple part of daily life. But for families facing hunger, it can mean choosing between groceries or rent, medicine or utilities.
This September, join Feeding the Gulf Coast in raising awareness of hunger in our community and taking action to ensure no one has to make that impossible choice.
What Is Hunger Action Month?
Hunger Action Month is an annual nationwide campaign to bring awareness and inspire our community to take action and take a stand against hunger. This year, Hunger Action Day is September 29. On this important day, wear orange, raise awareness, and take action with us.
The Local Reality
While Hunger Action Month is a nationally recognized day, hunger isn’t just a national issue; it’s right here at home.
In our local community,
- 1 in 6 individuals face food insecurity
- 1 in 4 children are unsure where their next meal will come from
Together, we can change this.
