September Is Hunger Action Month
Hunger Action Month is an opportunity to be a part of a month-long movement that has a real and lasting impact on our mission to end hunger in America.
This September, team up with Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano and Feeding America food banks nationwide to take action against hunger that affects 1 in 6 Americans.
