September is Hunger Action Month!

Hunger Action Month is a 30-day event each year, where people just like you, join together in the mission to end hunger. It’s typically held in September and is fast growing as a national event.

Our friends from the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona have put together this Hunger Action Month Calendar. Some people choose to follow a calendar, some volunteer to serve at some point in September to be a hands-on part of the mission to end hunger, and others host an event during the month to raise awareness of the problem and the mission.

How will you choose to participate in Hunger Action Month?

The mission to end hunger is critical. More than 40 million people in the United States today are hungry or food insecure. And yet, in this country, we will throw away over 133 billion pounds of good food this year. As a people of faith, it is time for us to take action—to say that this situation is unacceptable and we will do something about it.

This is a time for your congregation to stand together against hunger, to see that each person in this country has healthy, nourishing food to eat.
