This September, join FIND Regional Food Bank and our 200 Feeding America partner food banks across the country for the annual nationwide campaign to spread awareness and engage the public in the movement to end hunger. In every community in America, people are working hard to provide for themselves and their families; yet in 2025, 48 million people experienced food insecurity. In our Coachella Valley, 1 in 6 people experience food insecurity, and the unemployment rate is more than double the national average. This is why FIND Regional Food Bank, is calling on the community for support during Hunger Action Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
