Feeding America — Food Banks Need Your Support | CJsGo.com

Call to Action

The Feeding America network of food banks is mobilizing to help feed those in need at a time when hunger is impacting more of our neighbors in every corner of the country now that the COVID-19 pandemic has hurt millions of people living paycheck to paycheck.

Hunger Action Month

Hunger Action Month is designed to inspire people to take action and raise awareness of the fact that millions of people in America are facing hunger. [wpsm_button color=”btncolor” size=”medium” link=”https://www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-local-foodbank" icon=”none” class=”” target=”_blank”]Volunteering Locally[/wpsm_button] Feeding America estimates an additional 17 million people could be food insecure in 2020 as a result of this crisis, bringing the total up to 54 million people.

As COVID-19 Leaves Millions More People Food Insecure, the Hunger Action Month Campaign Urges the Public to Help End Hunger One Helping at a Time.

“We need your help now more than ever,” “Hunger in this country existed long before COVID-19, but the pandemic has thrust more and more of our neighbors into food insecurity, and food banks are responding to a sustained, increased demand. With support of the community, together we can end hunger one helping at a time.” Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, CEO of Feeding America.
