For many, a daily meal is just a choice of what to eat for dinner. But for people facing hunger, a daily meal poses a very different type of choice. It’s often an impossible choice between food and other critical needs such as electricity, childcare, or medicine.
Monday, September 1 marks the start of Hunger Action Month. Food Bank for the Heartland is proud to partner with Feeding America to inspire people to take action and raise awareness for millions of Americans facing the impossible choice of hunger. Join the Food Bank in helping us raise 1.6 million meals this month for Heartland neighbors in need.
PLUS—Omaha Steaks will generously match food donations made during the Stuff the Truck event ON SEPTEMBER 13 & Omaha corporate games beginning september 30!
