Fight Hunger in America This Holiday Season

The Issue

November marks the start of the holiday season, a time when food and family are the foundations for celebration.

However, 49 million Americans suffer from food insecurity. These are often children, seniors and hard-working adults who simply cannot make ends meet and do not always know where they will find their next meal. Many more are forced to make difficult choices between food and other basic necessities – heat, medicine, mortgage.

You can help solve this growing hunger crisis. Take our pledge to fight hunger in America this holiday season, and make a difference in the lives of people around the country by donating, spreading the word about hunger in the United States, supporting legislation to help hungry Americans or volunteering in your community.

Take the pledge to fight hunger today.
