This September, join FIND 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 2022, 44 million people—1 in 7 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 Food Bank, the Desert’s Regional Food Bank, is calling on the community for support during Hunger Action Month.

Leave no local hungry

Record high inflation at the gas pump and grocery stores is dragging on longer than expected, pushing more working people into food bank lines. FIND Food Bank helps feed 125,000 people each month struggling to make ends meet, and they need you to take action to Leave No Local Hungry. 

Everyone has the power to make an impact…

Все начинается с одного действия:

Host a Virtual Food Drive!

Start a fundraising page online and ask your organization, workplace, or friends and family to donate to end hunger!

While supply chain issues continue and transportation costs increase, donating funds over food is the most effective way to help FIND provide hunger-relief.

Go Orange!

Оранжевый - это цвет осознания голода, потому что он выделяется, когда голод не проявляется. Слишком часто наши соседи молча пропускают прием пищи, чтобы покрыть квартплату, оплатить лекарства или оставить электричество включенным, но это недопустимо.

In 2024, there are nine cities in the Coachella Valley and two cities in the Hi-Desert Morongo Basin region that are committed to leaving no local hungry in their neighborhoods. To bring attention to the injustice of hunger in our communities, many Coachella Valley cities and partner organizations lit up their City Hall, a central monument, or a staple building orange.

Take a picture of the community buildings lit up orange, wear orange, and keep advocating for our locals facing food insecurity!
