September 2025 | Take Action. End Hunger.

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.

Here’s 3 Ways to Get Involved

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

You CAN get Creative! For families, businesses, schools, architects, engineers, and creatives — this is your chance to build for a cause!

During the month of September design and display a sculpture, 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

  • Contact Karen at kbelgrader@feednc.org to sign up.

Volunteer With Us

We need extra hands throughout the month!
Sign up to serve meals, stock the market, work in Mimi’s Garden, or help with donation pick-ups.

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.
