Food shouldn’t be an impossible choice.
Food should not be an impossible choice, but for millions of food insecure Texans, choosing between food and other necessities is the reality. Hunger Action Month is a time for us to come together as a community to advocate for policy change to ensure all Texans have the food they need to thrive. Our neighbors facing hunger, and the food banks who proudly serve them, are counting on lawmakers to act.
September is Hunger Action Month
This September, join Feeding Texas in advocating for policy change to end hunger. As Congress debates the Farm Bill, it’s crucial we make Texans’ priorities known and demand legislation that strengthens federal nutrition programs like SNAP and TEFAP.
Voting is another critical way to take action to fight hunger. Hunger is a non-partisan issue, but solving it requires sustained attention and resources from our elected leaders. Your commitment to vote is not just an expression of your values – it’s also a powerful tool to hold your elected officials accountable to ending hunger in Texas!
You can also join the fight to end hunger by donating your time and money.
Help get meals to Texas families facing hunger.
This election, you have the power to feed Texas families and enact change in your community.
Send a letter to your Congress members calling for a strong Farm Bill.
