Today, Sept. 1, marks the start of Hunger Action Month, and throughout the month we are joining with our partners across the state who work to end food insecurity in Ohio. Food insecurity touches every corner of Ohio, and we are proud to partner with organizations dedicated to ending hunger. Together, we can fight food insecurity. Consider volunteering for your local food pantry, go orange for hunger or share what Hunger Action Month means to you.

Hunger is real and impacting someone you know. In fact, more than 600,000 people in Maryland are facing hunger. Help us fight hunger by giving to Adopt-A-Box! A gift of $50 buys 50 boxes which holds 1,500 lbs. of produce providing 6,000 servings of farm-fresh, healthy food for neighbors in need. TAKE ACTION and support our hunger relief efforts. GROW MORE - GIVE MORE - SERVE MORE! https://lnkd.in/eXr4r3Z6

Hunger Action Month is an annual nationwide campaign held in September to raise awareness about hunger in America and inspire action. It is a time we come together to take steps towards an America where no one is hungry. There is a difference between being hungry and food insecurity. Hunger refers to the physical sensation of needing food and for many of us this is quickly solved with easy access to groceries, restaurants and more. Food insecurity is a broader concept that encompasses the lack of consistent access to enough nutritious food for an active, healthy life.  Food insecurity can be influenced by various factors such as poverty, medical diagnosis, underemployment, low wages, unexpected job loss and limited access to affordable and nutritious food. Individuals and organizations can act in different ways. Donate to one of the six Feeding America food banks in Missouri with either cash or food, set up a virtual food drive, become an advocate or volunteer. Please visit www.feedingmissouri.org to locate the food bank in your area. By raising awareness and taking action, we can contribute to the movement to end hunger and ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food for a better future.

Positive change begins by taking action. When you join fellow volunteers, supporters, donors and advocates, your actions and kindness will create a ripple effect across our community. Here are five simple ways to get started in the fight against hunger in 2024: https://lnkd.in/esaq8uDA.
