National Hunger Action Month is held every September, when food banks and hunger-relief organizations, in partnership with Feeding America, work to raise awareness and inspire action against hunger in America.
Get involved by wearing orange, the color of hunger relief (not just for the Vols), volunteering your time, donating to local food banks, and advocating for long-term solutions to end hunger.
For this event, guests were asked to bring peanut butter, and bring it they did! Barrels of peanut butter were donated to the Second Harvest Food Bank.
