September is Hunger Awareness Month

Creating Equitable Access to a Healthy Food

Hunger Awareness Month is an annual initiative that raises awareness about hunger in our region and the most promising solutions and policies to end hunger in San Diego County. This year, we are highlighting collaborative solutions to hunger faced by many San Diegans, building public awareness and creating equitable access to healthy food.

Together, hunger in San Diego is a problem we can solve.

Share local food assistance tools and resources on social media or take a selfie with your friends, partners or colleages using the hashtags #HungerFreeSD and #HungerAwarenessMonth and help us amplify the message!

Follow San Diego Hunger Coalition and our Partners on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and reshare Hunger Awareness Month content through September 2023.
