September is Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month, a month dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring action so everyone has access to the nutritious food they need.
This year, we are bringing awareness to how hunger can happen anywhere — in the rural communities that are surrounded by farmland, in our schools, in the workplace, and in our own neighborhoods.
Join us this month, and make a difference.

“My husband and I had a business for a total of 30 years. We did not put away for retirement. The cost of everything has gone up so much. We take money out of our savings each month. We also have an adult disabled son with us. We also purchase things for him. We so appreciate your time and effort getting food to people who need help (fruit & vegetables are usually the first to be left out of your grocery cart)”
