As September begins, food banks and pantries across the country are mobilizing to bring attention to the urgent need for hunger relief during Hunger Action Month. This year, #GiveHealthy is proud to stand alongside these organizations, providing innovative tools and resources that make food drives more impactful than ever.
Food banks and pantries rely on food drives to supplement their shelves and stretch limited resources. Yet too often, those drives bring in items that don’t align with the most pressing needs—especially fresh fruits and vegetables. That’s where #GiveHealthy comes in. By offering its digital food drive platform, #GiveHealthy ensures that every donation matches what local food banks and pantries truly need, including perishable and nutrient-rich items. Donors can give fresh produce with the click of a button, and food banks and pantries can receive the food that best supports their communities.
September is also National Fruit and Vegetable Month, a perfect complement to Hunger Action Month. At a time when millions of families struggle with both hunger and nutrition insecurity, the opportunity to connect food drives with healthy, fresh options has never been more important. By sponsoring a #GiveHealthy food drive, organizations can make a direct impact: raising and delivering fresh fruits and vegetables to food banks and pantries nationwide.
For corporations, schools, faith-based groups, and community organizations, hosting a #GiveHealthy food drive this September offers a unique chance to take action against hunger while promoting better health. It’s a way to show leadership, engage employees or members, and directly support neighbors in need with the food that matters most.
This Hunger Action Month, let’s take a stand—not just against hunger, but for health. Together, with #GiveHealthy and its nationwide food bank partners, we can make fresh produce a standard in food relief.
