Hunger Action Month,  recognized by Feeding America and food banks across the country every September, is the perfect time to renew your commitment to fighting hunger (or make a new one!). The goal of this month-long campaign is to raise awareness of hunger in our country and promote ways for individuals everywhere to get involved in the effort to fight it.

• Become a monthly donor or make a one-time gift in honor of Hunger Action Month! Every dollar you give helps provide up to $9 worth of food to Northeast Ohioans facing hunger.
• Start a Virtual Food Drive for a fun, interactive way to raise funds to feed our neighbors! Spending $1 on a can of food can secure one small meal, but the Food Bank can stretch each dollar donated to help provide 3 nutritious meals!
