September is Hunger Action Month!
Initiated in 2008 by Feeding America, Hunger Action Month is an awareness campaign that calls attention to food insecurity issues in communities across the nation. According to Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap 2016 study, 1 in 7 Tennesseans struggles with hunger, and 20% of those are children. In our own Wilson County, 9.7% of the overall population is food insecure.
28 local businesses are partnering with the Mt. Juliet Help Center to bring awareness to the reality that there is hunger right here in our community. To see which businesses are participating and how you can help, look for the orange and brown Hunger Action Month signs at participating businesses, check out the slide show above, or download this handy guide to see all the places and the promotions available. There are plenty of opportunities to help out, from choosing restaurants and menu items for yourself while having part of your purchase feed others, to donating non-perishable food items at several restaurant and retail locations. It’s a win-win!
Thank you for supporting our mission to provide compassionate care to our community!
