There’s plenty of food in America for everyone; yet tens of millions of people still don’t have access to the food they need to thrive. 1 in 7 people across the U.S., including 1 in 5 children, experience food insecurity. Hunger is a challenge we can overcome. This September, during #HungerActionMonth, join us and our partner Feeding America, and let’s take one million actions together against hunger. Every action counts—whether you donate, advocate, volunteer, or spread the word online. https://lnkd.in/ghMZ8aiK to learn more.
