HOW YOU CAN HELP END HUNGER IN AMERICA

Think one person has the power to end hunger in America?  You certainly have a strong voice in helping hunger-relief organizations feed hungry people.  Your participation can directly help people across the country who may not know where their next meal will come from.

Individuals can end hunger by advocating, raising awareness, donating, sponsoring an event or volunteering.

Each day, individuals make a difference by fighting hunger in their communities, and we need more people like you to join in this effort.  Below are some suggestions for how you and other individuals can participate in Hunger Awareness Day 2007.  Click here to find your local food bank or food-rescue organization.
