HUNGER ACTION MONTH IN PA
September is “Hunger Action Month,” when individuals and organizations come together to help those in need by organizing food drives; volunteering at food banks, pantries, or soup kitchens; or donating financially to support community initiatives.
To mark the occasion, Hunger-Free Pennsylvania Executive Director Stuart Haniff, MHA, is hitting the road! He’ll visit many of the 18 food banks that comprise HFPA and serve all 67 counties. Follow his travels!
