Hunger Awareness Day Approaching

On June 5, 2007 communities across the country will remember more than 35 million Americans suffering from hunger or food insecurity by recognizing Hunger Awareness Day. Hunger Awareness Day is a day of unity for everyone in the United States to come together and show their support for one of the most solvable social issues in this country—hunger relief.

The heart of Hunger Awareness Day is people coming together to help hungry Americans. Whether it is advocating, raising awareness, sponsoring an event, participating in an event, or volunteering everyone can join us in fighting hunger in their communities.
Tuesday, June 5, 2007, is Hunger Awareness Day. Now in its SIXTH year, this day serves as a platform for domestic hunger-relief organizations to raise awareness about hunger in America and the work we do. Our theme this year is “The Face of Hunger Will Surprise You.”
Although each organization working on the issue of domestic hunger approaches the issue from a slightly different position, Hunger Awareness Day gives us the opportunity to gather our resources, supporters, and voices in focusing the nation’s attention on one of the most solvable problems facing every community in America.
Increasing awareness that domestic hunger is a real and growing problem will help ensure that there are enough resources to feed hungry Americans. There are events being planned throughout the country by individuals, groups and corporations. Bookmark this page and check back often!
