Food Banks Mobilize for Hunger Action Month

Various organizations across the United States are actively participating in Hunger Action Month this September to combat food insecurity. The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and other food banks, such as Long Island Cares, are organizing events and volunteer opportunities to raise awareness and funds. US Foods has made its largest donation of $750,000 to Feeding America to expand the Direct to Neighbor locker project. Maui Food Bank reports increased demand for food following recent wildfires, while NourishKC and The Prospect KC in Kansas City are teaming up to provide both food and culinary education. Additionally, Eagle's Flight Advocacy and Outreach in San Antonio faces rising demand and funding challenges, urging community support to keep their pantry stocked.
