Together, we can make sure our laws end hunger — not cause it.
Hunger Action Month
Hunger Action Month: Hunger is a Policy Choice
This September is Hunger Action Month — a time when people across the country take action to end hunger. Hunger starts with policy — and it can end there too.
Hunger isn’t a personal failure, it’s a policy failure
The laws our elected officials make — about wages, food assistance, housing, childcare, healthcare — decide who can afford basic needs and who can’t.
If we work together we have the power to make the policy changes our communities need.
Three ways you can make a difference this Hunger Action Month

Keep food flowing to Oregon families and support our work to address the root causes of hunger.

— Andrea, Oregon Food Bank Policy Leadership Council memberWe need to get rid of the belief that people are poor because they want to be. So much of what we have isn’t a product of our work, but a product of our life circumstances. We need to change the systems that keep people in poverty.
