Hunger Action Month is a campaign in which Feeding America, the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, and the national network of over 200 food banks raise awareness and take action on the issue of hunger. Hunger is a solvable issue and we are leading the effort to end it. You can help by getting involved and mobilizing your community. When we solve hunger today, we end hunger tomorrow!

Hunger Action Month is a time when we raise awareness of community hunger and shine a light on the need for healthy food that still remains. We encourage our neighbors to come together by donating food, funds, or their time to our mission, but we also strive simply to place food insecurity and the obstacles that accompany not having enough to eat in the forefront of our strong and vibrant community’s thoughts.

To continue to meet the constant need for nutritious meals, we will rely on what always remains our most important asset: our generous community. Our donors and our volunteers are our backbone, and even though hunger is always present, so is the support of our community. This September, and continuing throughout the year, we will take every opportunity to make hunger matter and strengthen our partnerships with those neighbors in the place we are proud to call home. Working together, we not only provide hunger relief, but we also offer a sense of hope.

Wear Orange on Tuesday, September 10^th for Hunger Action Day!
