More Ways to Take Action All Month Long
Volunteer.
We love our volunteers, and we think you’ll love being one, too! If you’ve got a few hours to share, consider joining us for a session (or more!). Check out the Volunteer Schedule page here on our website to find open volunteer opportunities, and schedule yourself and your crew to join us.
This September, we’re piloting morning volunteer sessions on select weekdays – a new option to make it easier for more people to get involved – and your group can be among the first to claim one of these new session times. Interested in exploring open dates? Contact Vickie to get started!
Donate.
Hunger Action Month Virtual Food Drive
Bring your friends, co-workers, or family together to fight hunger virtually. Host or support a Hunger Action Month Virtual Food Drive to help us raise 15,000 meals this month. Every $1 donated provides 3 meals for our neighbors.

Host your own Run on Tuna drive at your business or organization
Contact De De Rosene via email or at (775) 225-0814 with questions. All funds go directly to purchasing cans of tuna.
Take action and help reach 10,000 cans of tuna this September.
Advocate.
Every day, families, seniors, veterans, and students make difficult choices just to put food on the table. Across Nevada, 130,000 people are at risk of losing some of their nutrition benefits under HR 1.
The upcoming Farm Bill is one of the nation’s most powerful tools to protect families and communities – and this year it’s an opportunity to strengthen the social safety net and reduce the harm caused by cuts HR 1 makes to federal nutrition programs. Programs like SNAP, TEFAP, CSFP, and FDPIR provide lifelines for children, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, helping families thrive, children succeed in school, and local businesses and communities flourish.
Your voice matters. Urge Congress to strengthen the social safety net in the Farm Bill.
Make a Difference.
This Hunger Action Month, let’s show what’s possible when we come together – as neighbors, as volunteers, as advocates, as donors, as friends.
When you take action – whether it’s giving your time, sharing your resources, or speaking up – you’re part of a community that believes no one should face hunger alone. Together, we can create lasting change – not just this September, but all year long.
Volunteer, donate, advocate, and make a difference today.
