Join the Hunger Action Month movement with Treasure Coast Food Bank as the community is urged to unite in the effort to end hunger
September is Hunger Action Month: on the Treasure Coast, 1 in 4 people, including children, face hunger and food insecurity alimentaria.
Throughout this impactful month-long campaign, Treasure Coast Food Bank is committed to raising awareness and inspiring collective action to end hunger on the Treasure Coast.
Throughout the month, Treasure Coast Food Bank inspires action through various events, including Light Up Orange and the fourth annual Out Run Hunger 5K.
In September, community members and businesses participating in the Light Up Orange campaign will receive a complimentary orange light bulb or film for their luminaries to illuminate their spaces and show support for ending hunger in the community.
On Saturday, September 21, the Out Run Hunger 5K returns to Causeway Cove Marina in Fort Pierce, aiming to provide 200,000 meals.
“Hunger Action Month is our opportunity to harness our collective strength and address food insecurity in our community,” said Judith Cruz, president and CEO of Treasure Coast Food Bank. “Together, we have the power to drive positive change on the Treasure Coast.
This month and beyond, our actions—whether through donations, volunteering, or advocacy—will create a ripple effect, forging a path toward ending hunger.” Feeding America is fostering a million actions nationwide.
As part of the Feeding America network, Treasure Coast Food Bank also partners with organizations across the country to develop and share best practices and resources.
“We can end hunger in the U.S. when we decide to work together with coordinated action and a shared belief that everyone deserves fresh, nutritious food,” said Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America. “This year, during Hunger Action Month, we encourage everyone to take action. Speak up. Volunteer. Donate.
Our individual actions may seem small, but together they become a powerful movement that can change history.” Discover how you can make a difference by visiting stophunger.org/ham.
