September is Hunger Action Month, an initiative led by Feed Ontario in partnership with local food banks.
This month-long campaign encourages people across Ontario to take action against hunger in their communities.
Hunger Action Month aims to raise awareness and inspire collective efforts to tackle food insecurity.
The campaign highlights some key actions: EDUCATE, ADVOCATE, and DONATE. Educating yourself and others about the causes and impact of hunger helps build understanding. Advocating for policies that address food insecurity can lead to lasting change. Donating food, money, or time directly supports local food banks in their mission to provide for those in need.
There are several ways you can help your local food bank this month. You can volunteer your time, organize a food drive, or simply spread the word about Hunger Action Month. By educating, advocating, and donating, you can play a vital role in ending hunger in your community.
