Every September, the Feeding America network leads Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of food insecurity and inspire people to take action. The message this year is simple but powerful: collective action is the key to ending hunger.
The need has never been greater. Nearly 50 million people in the United States — including 1 in 5 children — don’t have reliable access to the food they need to thrive. Rising costs of groceries, housing, and healthcare are stretching families beyond their limits, leaving millions unsure of where their next meal will come from.
Why September Matters
Hunger Action Month is a time to shine a spotlight on this urgent issue and mobilize communities to respond. Hunger Action Day on September 9 is the centerpiece, bringing together individuals, organizations, and businesses to amplify their efforts for maximum impact.
At Elara, we believe solving hunger takes many hands. Through our One Case • One Meal program, every case of gloves, bags, or aprons purchased provides a meal for someone facing hunger. Together with our customers, we’ve donated more than 8 million of meals to Feeding America — and September is an opportunity to do even more.
How You Can Get Involved
Elara has created a Hunger Action Month Toolkit to make participation simple and impactful. Inside, you’ll find:
- Social media graphics and posts you can share throughout September to raise awareness.
- Messaging and email copy you can use to show your organization’s support.
- Ideas for action — from donating and volunteering to wearing orange, the color of hunger relief.
By sharing your voice and your commitment, you help spread the word and show your community that fighting hunger matters to your business.
Final Thoughts
Hunger in America is a crisis, but it’s one we can solve — if we work together. Every action counts. Whether it’s donating, volunteering, sharing a post, or simply wearing orange, you can make a difference.
This September, join Elara, Feeding America, and thousands of others across the country in the movement to end hunger. Together, we can make sure every child, family, and neighbor has the food they need to thrive.
