Hunger Action Month is Here

Hunger Action Month is Here

We can hardly believe it’s September already, but the good news is that September is Hunger Action Month!

With the latest reasearch telling us that 1 in 4 Maine children live at risk of hunger each day, there has never been a better time to take action against hunger. Governor LePage has declared September Hunger Action Month and he’s joining the Food-Bank in asking all Mainers to get involved.

Here are some of the ways you can get involved in the fight against hunger in Maine during Hunger Action Month:

  • Take the Skip a meal – Feed a neighbor pledge at www.MaineHungerAction.org. Join with others who have agreed to give up one meal on September 28 to experience what it’s like to go without food, even for a short period of time.
  • Make a donation to help Good Shepherd Food-Bank and its network of 600 partner agencies feed our neighbors in need.
  • Download the 30 Ways in 30 Days calendar – there you will find a different way to fight hunger every day of the month.
  • Share the celebrity PSA video, starring Matt Damon, with friends & family on your social media sites.
  • Bring a group to volunteer at the Food-Bank. Contact Elise Corbally-Hammond, our Volunteer Coordinator, for more information (207) 782-3554.
  • Ask your friends & family to join you in the fight against hunger.
