Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month
Everyone needs nutritious food to thrive. Yet, tens of millions of people in the United States―including the Inland Empire, where over 530,000 individuals, almost half of whom are children―face hunger.
This September, join our food bank and the movement to end hunger. Your voice, actions, and commitment will ensure that every community has the food they need to thrive. Because when people are fed, futures are nourished. Every action―big or small―is one step closer to an IE where no one is hungry. Join the movement to end hunger by donating, volunteering, or advocating!
