September is #HungerActionMonth
Take action to help end our hunger crisis — from home, in the community, or at the ballot box.
Right now, close to 630,000 children, adults, and seniors across Central and Eastern North Carolina don’t know where our next meal might come from. Every day, families are making impossible choices — between food and utilities, gas and medicine, rent and childcare. The demand for food assistance in our region has reached a near-record high, greater than even the peak of the pandemic.
With your support throughout #HungerActionMonth and beyond, we can meet these challenges head-on. Your action as a donor, volunteer, and advocate helps our network of 700+ anti-hunger organizations provide food to meet families’ immediate need for support — while organizing for the kind of policies and investments we need to end hunger for good in our communities.
There are many ways to make a difference.
Whether from home, out in the community, or at the ballot box, it's easier than ever to take action and help end our hunger crisis. It only takes two minutes to choose the best a path for you and your family.
Vote for hunger relief.
From food purchase funding to SNAP grocery support, so many of the solutions to hunger are driven (or not) by public policy. Learn more about the offices and issues on the ballot this fall — and how they impact food insecurity in North Carolina.
Volunteer to help communities thrive.
Whether you’re an individual supporter or represent a large group, there are a host of opportunities to help keep food flowing to families struggling with the rising cost of living. During an average shift, each volunteer's effort provides enough food to fuel 160 meals!
Dine out to help end hunger.
Locally-owned restaurants and cafés are the lifeblood of our community — and we're excited to partner with a host of incredible small businesses throughout Hunger Action Month. When you order #PlateItForward items, a portion of the proceeds directly benefit the Food Bank.
