Public Encouraged to Volunteer, Donate, and Advocate to Help Combat Childhood Food Insecurity
Erin’s Angels of CNY is proud to participate in Hunger Action Month, a nationwide initiative led by Feeding America that occurs every September to raise awareness about hunger and food insecurity in the United States and encourage action to combat it.
With thousands of children in Central New York facing food insecurity, especially on weekends when school meals aren’t available, Erin’s Angels is calling on the community to take action. The organization provides weekend meal bags to students in need and is using this month to amplify its mission and invite public support.
“This month is about more than awareness, it’s about action,” said Sheila Dion, Founder and Executive Director of Erin’s Angels. “We’re asking our neighbors to step up and help us ensure no child in our community goes hungry.”
In a recent blog post on the Erin’s Angels website, the organization outlines several impactful ways to get involved:
