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
