Hunger Action Month 2014

The Greater Lansing Food Bank (GLFB) is joining in with over 200 other Feeding America food banks across the United States in September for Hunger Action Month, a nationwide campaign to mobilize the public to take action in the fight against hunger.. Hunger exists in every county in the country, affecting nearly 49 million Americans, including 16 million children.

How does that impact us here at the Greater Lansing Food Bank – approximately 14.7% of the individuals living in our  7 county region suffer from food insecurity- in other words, they don’t know where there next meal will come from. Of that number, 1 in 4 are children.

Hunger Action Month is your opportunity to join a movement that has a real and lasting impact on our effort to feed more people than ever before.
