Food shouldn’t be an
impossible choice.
For millions of Texans, a daily meal isn’t a choice between different dishes. It’s a choice between food and other crucial needs—like medicine, electricity, or childcare. This September, join us for Hunger Action Month by supporting Texas food banks and advocating for hunger solutions.
September is Hunger Action Month
This September, advocate for policy change to end hunger. As Congress debates the 2023 Farm Bill, it’s crucial we make Texans’ priorities known and demand legislation that strengthens federal nutrition programs like SNAP and TEFAP. You can also join the fight to end hunger by donating your time and money.
Send a letter to your Congress members calling for a strong 2023 Farm Bill.
Help get meals to Texas families facing hunger.
