Hunger is happening right here in Kane County.
11.1%, more than 1 in 10 residents experience food insecurity, meaning they don't always know where their next meal will come from. Food insecurity can affect anyone after a job loss, illness, rising grocery costs, or other unexpected challenges.
The good news? Hunger is preventable when communities work together.
This Hunger Action Month, we're joining organizations across Kane County to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and connect neighbors with resources.

Food insecurity isn't always visible, and there are many misconceptions about who experiences it.
Many people who rely on food assistance are working, raising families, attending school, or living on fixed incomes.
This Hunger Action Month, let's replace myths with facts and reduce the stigma surrounding food insecurity.
Wear orange on Wednesday, September 9 and share a photo to help raise awareness!
