September is Hunger Action Month. At Action House, we believe that nourishing our neighbors takes more than a meal, and we’re on a mission to ensure that all of our neighbors have the nourishing food and resources they need to build a stronger, healthier future. We know, and research shows, that health is built by more than biology - it's shaped by our access to healthy food, the safety of our homes, the stability of our jobs, the quality of our education, and the support of our community. Each of these factors impact our well-being and the opportunities we have to live a full and healthy life.
Hunger doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Families who struggle to access the food they need often face other challenges, and a setback in one area creates a ripple effect across systems: education, childcare, employment, housing, healthcare, food, finances, and transportation. Complex problems require holistic solutions - that’s why we combine healthy food access, resource navigation, financial empowerment, and street outreach to build a community where all of our neighbors have what they need to thrive, and no one faces challenges alone- but we need your help to do it.
