September is Hunger
Action Month
Hunger Action Month is a nationwide effort to
motivate local action to
end hunger, and we are
hoping you will take
action with us to end
hunger in our community.
Throughout September,
the Greater Chicago
Food Depository is
working to engage citizens to take action and help spread the word about how pervasive hunger is in
every community. Hunger Action Month is your opportunity to join the Food Depository in a movement that has a real and lasting impact on our efforts to provide
nutritious food to those
who need it.
Whether it is advocating and raising awareness, making a food or fund donation, or volunteering,
everyone can make a
difference during Hunger Action Month. Click here for more
information on how you
can get involved.
