Five Ways to Support Hunger Action Month

9월 2, 2022 | , ,

For many families, the daily choices around meals include deciding what to serve, who will cook, who will set the table and who will clean up. They are – in the grand scheme of things – easy decisions that happen every day in homes across North Texas.

However, for nearly 700,000 people – including 1 in 5 children – in the 13 counties served by the North Texas Food Bank, a daily meal can often be an impossible choice between food and other critical needs, such as medicine, utilities or childcare. These are choices people should never have to make.

This September, you can choose to make a difference for thousands of North Texans experiencing hunger. For the 14NS year, the North Texas Food Bank is joining 미국을 먹여살리다 food banks across the country to take part in the annual 기아 행동의 달, 전국적 규모와 지역 사회의 현장에서 미국의 기아 종식을 돕기 위한 인식을 높이고 행동을 고무하는 데 전념하는 연례 캠페인입니다.

The NTFB is seeing hunger needs across our service area match or exceed some of the highest levels of demand we saw during the pandemic as inflation continues to strain household budgets and limit the resources of families and individuals to access the nutritious food they need.

North Texas Food Bank는 오늘의 식량뿐만 아니라 내일에 대한 희망 by addressing the underlying barriers to food security. Hunger Action Month is a great opportunity for the community to contribute to our vision and get involved in the fight against hunger.
