September is Hunger Action Month, a critical time for raising awareness and taking meaningful steps to fight hunger across the Greater Chicagoland area beyond. The Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and the Northern Illinois Food Bank have united for the month-long campaign dedicated to inspiring action and change in our community.
Why Hunger Action Month Matters
Hunger is a persistent challenge that affects thousands of families every day. As we see a steady increase in requests for food assistance, it becomes even more crucial to rally together and provide support. With wages not keeping pace with inflation, many families are struggling to make ends meet. But, there’s hope. By working together, we can address this issue and provide the help needed.
How You Can Make A Difference
very action counts in the fight against hunger. Here are a few ways you can get involved:
Donate: Your contributions, whether monetary or in-kind, help ensure that nutritious food reaches those in need.
Volunteer: Give your time to help sort, pack, and distribute food at local pantries and food banks.
Advocate: Raise awareness about the issues of hunger and food insecurity. Share information with your network and encourage others to take action.
Spread the Word Online: Use social media to amplify the message. Share posts, create awareness campaigns, and invite your friends and family to join the cause.
