Throughout the month of September, Golden Harvest Food Bank will lead impactful events and initiatives to engage the community and drive change.
The centerpiece of Hunger Action Month is Hunger Action Day on Tuesday, September 9. On this day, we invite everyone to wear orange and help bring attention to hunger in our neighborhoods.

Hunger is at a crisis point. Right now, 1 in 7 people and 1 in 4 children in our 24-county service area face food insecurity. In some counties, like Hancock, 1 in 2 children do not have enough to eat. Local food pantries and soup kitchens are serving more families than during the pandemic, while food banks like Golden Harvest are paying record-high prices to keep shelves stocked with healthy staples.

This September marks the 18th year of Feeding America’s national call to action. Golden Harvest is hosting events, volunteer opportunities, and guided tours of our Augusta facilities so supporters can see how their generosity moves from truck to table. Tours are available throughout the month. Email [email protected] to schedule a visit or learn more.

How you can take action this September:
Wear orange and raise awareness: Join us for Hunger Action Day on September 9 and share photos on social media using #HungerActionMonth, #GoldenHarvestFoodBank, and #EveryMealMatters.
Advocate for change: Contact local legislators and support policies that fight hunger.
Volunteer with us: Help pack food boxes, sort donations, or serve meals at The Master’s Table soup kitchen.
Donate today: Your gift provides groceries and meals to children, families, and seniors in need.

Media partners are invited to take part by wearing orange during broadcasts on Hunger Action Day, September 9, helping lead the way in raising awareness and inspiring action throughout the community.
