Freestore Foodbank calls on public to join together in ending hunger

September is Hunger Action Month and Feeding America is encouraging one million actions across the country to end hunger. During the month-long campaign, Freestore Foodbank will be raising awareness and inspiring action in tristate area. Every action counts, whether it’s donating, advocating, volunteering or spreading the word online.

“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 are encouraging everyone to take action. Raise your voice. Volunteer. Donate. Our individual actions may seem small, but together they become a powerful movement that can change history.”
