Join the movement to End Hunger in America

Every day, people across the country—parents, students, coworkers—are helping to end hunger by donating, volunteering, or advocating. These actions support a nationwide movement. With that support, the Feeding America network rescued 4.1 billion pounds of food last year to help families get the nutritious meals they need to thrive.

Help Protect SNAP

Congress is considering cuts to SNAP—the program that helps over 42 million people buy groceries. If passed, these cuts could take away more than 9 billion meals each year. Urge lawmakers to protect SNAP—we’ll even provide the message.
