September is Hunger Action Month! Every year, Feeding America leads this campaign to bring into focus the issue of hunger in our nation. The hope is to inspire all of us to take action and fight hunger.
Did you know that approximately 47% of all households in Jackson either live in poverty or earn just above the federal poverty level but not enough to make ends meet? That’s one out of every two people you encounter on your daily commute or your downtown coffee run. Right here, where we live, work, and worship, many of our friends must choose between their next meal and basic needs like rent and medical care.
We invite you to join us in the fight against hunger. Check out our tips below, and read all the way to the end for an exclusive downloadable gift!
Here’s how YOU can take action this September…
GIVE
You can donate online, in person (just swing by our office at 133 Airways Blvd!), or through the mail (P.O. Box 2301 Jackson, TN 38302).
One of the most impactful ways you can make a difference is through our monthly giving club, Friends at the Table. Setting up an automatic monthly donation is easy, and it helps us sustain our work in the long term to feed as many people as we can.
