Hunger Action Month

Each September during Hunger Action Month, food banks, partners, organizations, and individuals across the country come together to bring attention to the reality of food insecurity in the United States. All month long, the RI Food Bank is sharing ways you can help us end hunger right here in Rhode Island.
