Hunger Action Month #DoOneGoodThing Calendar
September is Hunger Action Month, when Feeding San Diego and the national Feeding America network of more than 200 food banks unite to urge our communities to take action to help end hunger. We all have a role to play in getting food to those in need. With this Calendar of #DoOneGoodThing each day, though, we’re making it easy (and delicious and fun and impactful) for you to do your part.
