WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY TO HELP END HUNGER IN YOUR COMMUNITY?Organize a community garden so those neighbors can grow their own food. Volunteer to teach cooking, shopping or nutrition classes. Support local farmers by shopping at the farmer's market. Call your elected representative and express your support for improved food assistance programs. Visit your elected representative to discuss food policies, hunger and nutrition issues. Write a letter to the editor or an OpEd piece about issues that have an impact on the poor and hungry in your community. Appear on local television and radio programs to discuss food policies, hunger and nutrition issues facing your community. Volunteer at your local Department of Social Services. Offer to help low income people fill out Food Stamp or other food assistance program applications. Volunteer at a community kitchen, food pantry or in the offices of local anti-hunger agencies. Lend your professional expertise (media, research, proposal writing, and office work) to a community agency. Donate money, equipment or materials to anti-hunger agencies Donate food to a food pantry or soup kitchen. While raising income can help eliminate hunger, each of us must be a careful consumer in order to make the most of the income we have. One way to do this is by improving our consumer financial literacy. Check out the Consumer Financial Literacy pages. They have help on banking, credit, budgeting, housing, autos, taxes, diet and other subjects.
