What is Hunger Action Month?

During Hunger Action Month (HAM), the Feeding America nationwide network of foodbanks and food pantries unites to urge individuals  to take action in their communities, all month long and beyond. This September, individuals, businesses and government mobilize to increase awareness of local food insecurity and work to fight hunger. HAM is a movement that has a real and lasting impact on our mission of harnessing the power of communities to end hunger. Learn more here!
