Hunger Action Month 2026

September 29 is Hunger Action Day

Each September, the Feeding America nationwide network of food banks joins together for Hunger Action Month® — the annual national campaign designed to inspire people to take action and raise awareness of hunger in the U.S. Join us by volunteering, donating, advocating, or participating in events to help ensure everyone has access to the food they need. Together, we can make a difference and work towards a hunger-free future.

Hunger Action Day

September 29 is Hunger Action Day, when collective efforts across the country are focused on greater impact. It’s a day to “Go Orange,” because orange is the color of hunger relief. This Hunger Action Day, we encourage everyone to unite by wearing orange and speaking out on behalf of our neighbors facing hunger. 

SQUARE MEAL SOCIETY​

Donors in the Square Meal Society contribute monthly gifts, providing critical, reliable funding to help Philabundance distribute nutritious food to the children, seniors, and families we serve all year long. Signing up for a recurring gift saves you time and postage and reduces our administrative costs.

“This Hunger Action Month, joining the movement to end hunger helps to ensure that everyone, regardless of race, background, or ZIP code, has access to the nutritious food and vital resources they need to thrive in school, at work, in personal relationships, and essentially, every aspect of their lives. Because when people are fed, futures are nourished, and individuals go from just living to truly thriving.”
