Opportunities to Participate in Hunger Action Day
Join the Fredericksburg Area Foodbank in Hunger Action Day, part of Feeding America's month long education outreach to help end hunger.
The Fredericksburg Area Food Bank is raising awareness today -- Hunger Action Day -- about the 50 million Americans who struggle with hunger.
"Wear orange and check the Hunger Action Month webpage to learn how you can take action," the group said. For example:
- Take the Snap Challenge and eat on just $4.50 a day.
- FIND and LIKE Feeding America and your local food bank on Facebook.
- Change your Facebook and Twitter profile orange.
- Encourage your Member of Congress to support your local food bank and help us reach our goal of getting every member of Congress to visit a food bank in 2013.
- Find your local food bank and become a volunteer during September and all year long.
- Subscribe to the Feeding America e-newsletters and updates, and learn how you can join us in creating change.
- Make a donation to the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank or other local food agency.
- Hold a food drive.
The Fredericksburg Area Food Bank helps to provide nutritious food to over 20,000 people each month through our network of more than 70 non-profit and faith based organizations throughout the community.
