Hunger Action Month
September 2025 | Take Action. End Hunger.
Join a Nationwide Movement
This September, FeedNC will join organizations across the country for Hunger Action Month — a powerful, month-long movement to raise awareness about food insecurity and rally our community to take action.
Together, we can change that.
Join a group of dedicated volunteers from the Mooresville/Lake Norman area who are passionate about ending food insecurity in our backyard.
1. GO Orange Day — September 9
The color orange represents hunger awareness. Wear orange on Tuesday, September 9, and tag @FeedNC on social media to show your support! We’ll be resharing community posts all day. Also, consider wearing orange and joining us at Donoghue’s for breakfast or lunch.
2. Sponsor a Meal at Donoghue’s
Sponsor a breakfast or lunch service to support our community kitchen, which served
over 50,000 meals last year.
$600 Lunch Sponsorship (feeds 200)
$225 Breakfast Sponsorship (feeds 75)
Sponsorship includes digital signage in dining room, volunteer opportunity, and recognition on our website.
Contact kbelgrader@feednc.org to reserve your date.
3. Join the CAN Challenge or Volunteer
During the month of September display a message, your company name or logo made from canned or boxed goods. Your creation can be as elaborate as a towering, eye-catching sculpture or as simple as spelling out an inspiring message — the choice is yours! The goal is to inspire, have fun, and fill our shelves with food for neighbors in need. All non-perishable food items used in your display can be donated to FeedNC by September 30 — turning your creativity into real meals for our community.
So, grab your cans, boxes, and bags, rally your team, and let’s build something amazing together!
Helpful hints:
Showcase your sculpture at your office, storefront, or online
Tag us & get featured on our social media and website. Certificates and recognition for all participants on our website

Here’s 3 Ways to Get Involved
Every Action Counts
When you act, you help nourish a neighbor.
When you give, you provide hope.
When you share, you spread the message.
Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate community.
Let’s take action this September — and end hunger, one step at a time.
