Hunger Action Month

JOIN US ON HUNGER ACTION DAY ON SEPTEMBER 12TH AS WE TURN THE STATE ORANGE!

GO ORANGE: Orange is the official color of hunger relief. Make a statement by wearing orange on Hunger Action Day! Encourage your friends, family and office to join you! Send us your photo or share on social media using #HungerActionMonth and @CTFoodBank.

ADVOCATE: Follow us @CTFoodBank and share our posts about local hunger. Change your profile picture to show your support in the fight against hunger!

DONATE: Collect money from friends and family, start a collection container at work, or decide to give up your coffee and lunch money for a day or week. The Connecticut Food Bank can provide two meals for every $1 donated.

VOLUNTEER: Sign up to volunteer with the Connecticut Food Bank or a local hunger relief agency. Challenge your friends to do the same!

OTHER WAYS TO TAKE ACTION: 

• Take an Empty Plate Selfie – find a paper plate, write what you can’t do on an empty stomach or what you are doing to end hunger and post a photo to social media with @CTFoodBank and #HungerActionMonth.​
• Start a conversation about how you feel when you’re hungry and discuss ways you can help in your community.
• Ask a local business or restaurant to put up a Hunger Action Month flyer, put out a collection container or decorate the store orange. 
• Take a photo and send it our way! We will share it on social media!
