Every September, people across the United States unite for Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign led by Feeding America and its partners. This month serves as a powerful reminder that hunger is not a distant problem—it affects families, children, and seniors in every community. With one in eight children in America facing food insecurity, the need to take action has never been more urgent.
At the LindaBen Foundation, we believe that no child should go to bed hungry and no family should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for other necessities. That’s why September is such an important time for us to raise awareness, rally support, and strengthen our year-round efforts to fight hunger.
Why Hunger Action Month Matters
Hunger is often invisible. Families struggling to make ends meet may skip meals, cut portions, or rely on less nutritious food because healthier options are out of reach. Children facing hunger are more likely to experience health challenges, difficulty focusing in school, and long-term developmental impacts.
Hunger Action Month gives us the chance to:
-
Educate communities about the realities of hunger.
-
Mobilize volunteers, donors, and advocates.
-
Inspire meaningful action—whether that’s donating food, contributing funds, or raising your voice to support hunger relief policies.
Wearing orange, the official color of hunger awareness, is a simple way people show their support this month. But the real impact comes from collective action.
The LindaBen Foundation’s Role in Fighting Hunger
The LindaBen Foundation is proud to be part of this movement. Our mission goes beyond raising awareness—we work directly with communities to provide sustainable, impactful support. Some of our ongoing initiatives include:
-
School Meals & Backpack Programs
We ensure children have access to healthy meals not only during the school day but also over weekends and holidays, when hunger often hits hardest. -
Community Food Partnerships
By partnering with local food banks, farms, and businesses, we expand access to fresh, nutritious foods for families who need them most. -
Nutrition & Wellness Education
Fighting hunger is also about building stronger futures. We offer workshops and resources that teach families how to prepare affordable, balanced meals. -
Emergency Relief Support
When crises strike—whether natural disasters or sudden economic challenges—the Foundation mobilizes quickly to provide food and supplies to affected families.
