Everyone needs nutritious food to thrive, and in every community in America, people are working hard to provide for themselves and their families. Yet hunger touches every county in the country: 1 in 5 children may not have the food they need to grow up strong, and more than 50 million people turned to food banks and pantries for help last year.
No one person can solve hunger alone. But when we assemble to connect our efforts, we become an unstoppable system that feeds millions. Run Across America proves this:
September is Hunger Action Month
Go the extra mile this year to help in your community. Here are some ways you can make a difference with Feeding America and Run Across America:
-
Turn miles into meals. Log 10 Fall Frenzy activities by September 25 for the Hunger Action Challenge and we'll donate 10 meals to Feeding America. Sign up for Fall Frenzy and start logging
-
Volunteer at your local food bank. Spend a morning or afternoon helping to sort and package food in your community, or helping distribute food. It's really fun! Find your local food bank
-
Log your volunteer hours. New this season, the app has a Volunteer activity type. Log the time you give to a food bank, a shelter, or a community garden as a Volunteer activity and it counts toward your goal and the Hunger Action Challenge. Learn how in the Help Center
-
Get your donation matched 2x. Right now, you can sign up for Fall Frenzy and get your contribution to Feeding America doubled. Contribute during sign up
-
Thank a food bank hero. Food bank staff and volunteers are on the front lines of helping millions of families make ends meet. Share your support for the food bank staff and volunteers by signing a card and sharing your words of gratitude. Send a card
-
Host a food drive. Food drives help food charities keep their shelves stocked. They also help raise awareness about hunger in your community and encourage others to help. Start your food drive
