Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, a member of Feeding America, is asking everyone to take action during Hunger Action Month because asking for help isn't easy but helping can be. Show your community how you are advocating, providing hope, and helping families who are having to make difficult choices between purchasing food and other basic necessities. Everyone has a role to play in ending hunger. Every action counts and you can take action with Virginia Peninsula Foodbank by donating, volunteering and/or posting on social media #HungerActionMonth.

Hunger lives closer than you think and can impact a family without any notice. Food banks are an essential component to a community's response, especially during this time of anxiety and disruption, but we never do our work alone. The support that we receive from our community helps provide nutritious meals to children, families, seniors and veterans whose existing food insecurity has been magnified, and also to people who are worrying about hunger for the first time in their lives. Join Virginia Peninsula Foodbank and help get food to our neighbors in need. They need us now more than ever. Please visit www.hrfoodbank.org because together we can end hunger one helping at a time.
