Hunger Action Month calls us to action. It invites us to learn about resources available to fight hunger, support regional food banks and find meaningful ways to advocate for change in our communities.  

Hunger isn’t just a statistic; it’s a neighbor, a coworker, a classmate, or a friend. That’s why it’s our job to ensure that, no matter how close hunger may be, help is always closer.    

Ways To Take Action This Month 

You can make a difference by supporting organizations working directly with families and individuals experiencing food insecurity. 

• Contribute to your regional food bank 

• Host or join a workplace food or fund drive 

• Support a local pantry or community organization 

• Donate through Feed More 

Every contribution — whether food, funds or time — helps ensure nutritious meals remain within reach for neighbors across Virginia. 

Nutrition Programs Supporting Families 

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

SNAP provides monthly benefits that help families buy groceries. If you or someone you know is struggling to put food on the table, encourage them to apply through CommonHelp or their local department of social services.  

Learn more and apply.

Virginia Fresh Match

Virginia Fresh Match doubles SNAP and SUN Bucks benefits spent on fruits and vegetables at participating farmers markets. This helps households access more fresh, nutritious food while supporting local farmers and markets across the Commonwealth.
