What is Hunger Action Month?

September is Hunger Action Month (HAM) at the Eastern Illinois Foodbank and across the nation!  The Feeding America nationwide network of foodbanks unites to urge individuals to take action in their communities - all month long.  This September, individuals, businesses and government mobilize to increase awareness of local food insecurity and work to fight hunger!  HAM is a movement that has a real and lasting impact on our mission to alleviate hunger in eastern Illinois.

How Can You Take Action This Month?
