30 Ways in
30 Days...
F ood banks across the country will live out a new
experiment this September: the first annual
Hunger Action Month. The month long commemo-
ration is much more than an observance. It’s all about
getting involved, learning something you didn’t know
before, and taking ACTION. Here in Atlanta, we’ll
roll out the month with 30 ways you can be involved
in the 30 days of September.
If you followed through with even one of the sug-
gested items on any day of your choosing, you could
make a tremendous difference! To see the 30 ways,
visit ACFB.org.
