Hunger Action Month

During September, Hunger Action Month is a nationwide effort to mobilize the public, bring greater attention to the issue of hunger, and promote ways to get involved.  Through Feeding America, the Regional Food Bank is joining more than 200 food banks across the nation to encourage the public to take action against hunger.

Whether it’s volunteering, donating or advocating, there is something that everyone can do to make an impact!
