September is Hunger Action Month
For far too many Minnesotans, a daily meal isn't a choice between different dishes. It's a choice between food and other critical needs, like utilities, medicine and housing.
Today, more than half a million Minnesotans are facing hunger and confronting these impossible choices every day. These choices are even more difficult for Minnesota’s communities of color, who face rates of hunger twice that of their White neighbors.
This month, you have a choice too. September is Hunger Action Month, the time to join forces to fight hunger.
How will you choose to end hunger?
