You can help us fight hunger by spreading the word!
Together, we can raise awareness around hunger and the solutions needed to ensure no one goes to bed hungry. We’ve prepared a Hunger Action Toolkit to make spreading the word easy and encourage you to join us!
Throughout the month, you can post the images below with their accompanying text – just one easy way to spread the word about the rising needs in our community and advocate for those who need help.
Follow us on social media at (@cssalaska) during Hunger Action Month to join the fight against hunger!
