Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month, and we invite you to join us as we fight hunger in communities across Middle Tennessee. Second Harvest Food Bank has identified at least one way each day of the month you can get involved, and we’re calling it “30 Ways in 30 Days.”
Hunger affects more than 1 in 8 Tennesseans. It’s a big problem, and every year we see more and more people in need of food assistance. The 30 Ways in 30 Days campaign gives us real actions we can take to fight hunger here in Middle Tennessee. By joining us and choosing YOUR WAY, you are taking a stand and saying HUNGER IS NOT OK!
Joining the fight against hunger has never been easier. To add your voice, go to www.ThirtyWays.org and follow these three simple steps.
1. Take the Hunger Action Month Pledge!
The local food bank who receives the most pledges by the end of the month will win a truckload of food for hungry people in their community!
2. Find YOUR way
Once you’ve taken the pledge, find your personal way on the 30 Ways in 30 Days calendar, and sign up to let us know you’ve found your way. You can sign up for as many ways as you like!
3. Spread the word!
We want everyone to take the Hunger Action Month pledge, so once you’ve chosen your way, invite all your friends and family to make the pledge too! If we all work together, we can make great progress in the fight to end hunger.
Thanks for helping us fight hunger and feed hope!
