2. Run a food drive<\/h2>\n
This is a great way to support Hunger Action Month as well as your local food pantries. It may be easier than you think to run a food drive, whether it\u2019s at your job or at your school, you can work with others to organize a food drive and make a difference this September. Make sure you contact your local food bank before you get started to see what their most needed items are, how to register, and if there are any donation guidelines. Feeding America provides a great step-by-step guide on how to organize a food drive for your community.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Since many food-insecure<\/span><\/strong><\/a> families rely entirely on local food pantries, it is important to help ensure these pantries are stocked with plenty of food and supplies. We all have cans sitting in our pantry that we have not used and, let\u2019s be honest, probably won\u2019t ever use. Donating to your local food pantry is one of the easiest ways to get involved! Clean out some of those cans collecting dust on your shelf or go to the store and buy a variety of canned foods to take over to your local food pantry but be sure to ask your local food pantry what their donation guidelines are first.<\/p>\n Another great way to get involved in Hunger Action Month is to volunteer at your local food pantry. This is a great way to get involved in your community and even meet some amazing people whose lives you are making a difference in. Since the majority of food pantries and soup kitchens rely almost entirely on volunteer support, every minute of your time is impactful, even if you can only volunteer a couple of hours each month. <\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n In the age of social media, it is way easier to spread awareness and bring light to major issues. There are most likely many people that have never heard of Hunger Action Month and may not know the reality of hunger in America. Share this blog, a tweet or Instagram post provided by Feeding America<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, <\/span><\/strong>or share the fact sheet below to bring awareness to the reality of hunger in America.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span>You can also wear orange this September to bring awareness and support to Hunger Action Month, even little actions make a difference. As Feeding America says, \u201cYour power, voice, actions, and commitment will ensure nobody has to make an impossible choice between food and other necessities like medicine, utilities, or childcare.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If we all come together, we can end hunger.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n3.
