Second Harvest takes part in Hunger Action Month

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- September is known as National Hunger Action Month, and Second Harvest is working to bring awareness to the nationwide campaign.

Created in 2007 by the Feeding America network of food banks, the Hunger Action Month movement is a nationwide movement to end hunger in local American communities.

Second Harvest's Mackenzie Bally talks about how to get involved in this nationwide movement.

"You can donate through our website at shcfb.org, or there are also many volunteer opportunities, which you can give us a call or sign up for events through our website," said Bally.

Bally said that getting involved will help around 41,000 people in the local area who face food insecurity.
