Hunger Action Month: Community in Action
September is Hunger Action Month, a time to recognize the impact of food insecurity and the importance of coming together to make sure our neighbors have enough to eat. In Sonoma County, roughly 1 in 4 residents experiences food insecurity, driven by high living costs, rising grocery prices, and wages that have not kept pace with inflation.
This Friday, September 11, at 11:00 a.m. on KPCA’s Inside Petaluma, we’ll be talking about National Service and Remembrance Day and a powerful nationwide effort to address food insecurity through service and giving.
Our guests will be:
Trever Burgon, President, San Rafael Stake, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Lynne Gordon Moquete, Founder and Executive Director of Una Vida
Their organizations are participating in American Gives, a nationwide initiative celebrating America’s 250th anniversary through service and generosity. The effort has a goal of providing more than 6.5 million meals to families facing food insecurity, including the donation of 250 semi-truckloads of non-perishable food across all 50 states.
The initiative also encourages Americans to give their time through JustServe, a volunteer platform connecting people with opportunities to serve in their communities.
Join us Friday as we talk about what happens when people, organizations and communities come together to serve others.
