Hunger Action Month

Join us in September for Hunger Action Month to raise 25,000 pounds of food! (That’s roughly the weight of two elephants!)

What is Hunger Action Month?
Hunger Action Month is a national campaign held every September to raise awareness and inspire action to end hunger in America. All month long, we’ll be challenging our community to help raise awareness about food insecurity while collecting as much food as possible for the WayForward Resources Food Pantry.

You Can Make A Difference
With 1 in 10 people in Dane County considered food insecure and our food pantry experiencing four times as many visits as it did just four years ago, your partnership is needed to ensure our neighbors have access to enough nutritious food.

Who Can Join the Challenge?
Everyone! Groups, schools, organizations, businesses, families, friends, neighbors, and most importantly—YOU are invited to participate.
