It is September 1st. I woke up angrily aware of that fact this morning. Summer is pretty much a wash, literally this year. I never made it to the beach, didn’t lose the 15lbs I vow to drop each summer, because it is so nice out I will exercise every day! uh, huh…
Here’s one good thing about September. September is Hunger Action Month!
What is Hunger Action Month?
Hunger Action Month is Feeding America’s most important national initiative of the year—it’s a time when we work together with our 205 member food banks and countless concerned advocates like you to focus the nation’s priorities on ending hunger. This September, our Hunger Action Month advocacy activities will be centered on child hunger. With 1 in 6 American children at risk, we’ll concentrate on raising public awareness of child hunger and educating our elected officials about the importance of government funding for critical Child Nutrition Programs.
What can you do to get involved? Visit the Hunger Action Center’s Hunger Action Month Headquarters to join the Food Bank Competition, to take action, and to get updates on the campaign and contest.
Also check back to WGWaFA- as part of Hunger Action month I am planning a super secret, multi-blog event!! So secret that I haven’t even let myself know exactly what I am planning yet… Yes, I am that crafty. But it will be fun and really what else do you have going on? Do you have something going on? You do? Why haven’t you invited me??
More soon….
