Hunger Action Month

We serve 1 in 5 year-round Islanders at the Island Food Pantry

This September, join Island Grown Initiative for Hunger Action Month and help ensure our neighbors have access to the nourishing food they need to thrive.

Ending hunger takes all of us. Farmers, advocates, donors, volunteers, businesses, and neighbors are all pieces of a stronger food system.

Together, we can build a future where no one goes hungry.

This September, take action.
