September is Hunger Action Month, a nationwide initiative in which hunger relief organizations inspire their respective communities to take collective action by giving their time, raising essential funds and educating themselves on food insecurity and its impact. At Bounty & Soul, we are committed to exploring and educating ourselves and the community on the root causes of food insecurity and inequities by continuing to learn from and align ourselves with causes that are dedicated to food justice.
With 1 in 4 children and 1 in 6 households facing food insecurity in Western North Carolina, Bounty & Soul, with the support of volunteers, local farmers, growers, partners and donors, takes action EVERY day by providing fresh, nutritious food and wellness education and resources to over 1,500 individuals each week through our programs and services. We are excited to embrace this year’s campaign in a number of special ways throughout September!
We invite you to learn more about what we do, and how you can take action with us during Hunger Action Month by visiting our calendar of events as well as the our month long fundraisers with a variety of local businesses. Stay tuned for more details coming soon on our social media page as we continue to add more partners and events throughout the month!
