Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month, a national campaign by Feeding America to rally communities in the fight against hunger. For Food Bank of Alaska, it’s a time to amplify the voices of those experiencing food insecurity and mobilize efforts to ensure access to nutritious food.
Food Insecurity in Alaska
In Alaska, 1 in 8 people faces hunger, including children, seniors, and veterans. Geographic challenges and harsh weather can disrupt food access, making it difficult for many to consistently afford nutritious food. Food Bank of Alaska addresses this by distributing food, advocating for supportive policies, and working with partners on sustainable solutions. But we can’t do it alone—community involvement is key.
