Take Action
The USDA indicates that 10.2% of households (13.5 million homes) are experiencing food insecurity today, not knowing when or how they will access their next fresh, nutritious meal. By showing up to serve our communities with food resources, we are able to impact our communities in immeasurable ways.
Join us on the National Day of Jewish Service (NDJS) on October 22, 1pm PT/ 4pm ET as we kick off our Thanksgiving Food Access campaign with Hunger Free America by researching and making calls to support and build the most comprehensive collection of food resources in the country.
