Honoring Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month, providing an opportunity to raise awareness about hunger and food insecurity in our communities. Proudly, New York State has long been committed to the fight against hunger, launching several groundbreaking initiatives and programs in recent years, including the Council on Hunger and Food Policy, Vital Brooklyn, and the No Student Goes Hungry initiative, to combat hunger, improve access to healthy, locally grown foods, and bring New York-grown foods and beverages to underserved communities. Most recently, the Department’s Nourish New York initiative, which was created to address food insecurity during the pandemic, has brought millions of pounds of New York produced foods to New Yorkers who need it most.

We encourage everyone to show their support by wearing orange on Hunger Action Day, recognized this year on September 17, 2021. Additionally, take action by visiting https://www.feedingamerica.org/take-action/hunger-action-month to find out more about how to help this month and year-round. Many of New York’s food banks are participating with special food drives and events, so be sure to check out your local food bank and see how you can help.
