GO ORANGE FOR HUNGER
One in six people on the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee face hunger.
This September, we ask that you Go Orange for Hunger to raise awareness
of this critical issue. As individuals, charities, businesses and government,
we all have a role to play in getting more food to people in need.
WHY GO ORANGE FOR HUNGER
ACTION MONTH?
To celebrate Go Orange Day on September
1st and bring awareness of the issue of hunger
in our community throughout September,
buildings, landmarks and people across the
country will go orange.
Hunger Action Month is our opportunity to
be a part of a month-long movement that
has a real and lasting impact on the mission
to end hunger in America.
In 2015 more buildings, landmarks and people
than ever before turned their lights orange,
wore orange or went orange on social media
in commemoration of Hunger Action Month
However you choose to participate, thank you
for your commitment to ending hunger in our
community! Please remember to share, post
and tweet how you Go Orange for Hunger
this September using #HungerActionMonth
Donate. Volunteer. Advocate. Educate.
Together, we can solve hunger.™
Visit stophunger.org to lean more.
YOU HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY
Individuals and families, buildings, landmarks,
businesses, schools, universities and restaurants
can all Go Orange for Hunger! Consider these
great ideas:
•
Wear orange clothing on September 1st
and ask co-workers, friends and families to
join you. Take a group photo and tweet it
to @FeedingAmerica and @TCFoodBank
using #HungerActionMonth
•
Light your home orange for the month
by purchasing orange light bulbs and
replacing your outdoor or indoor lighting
with them.
•
Ask the manager of your office building,
house of worship and community landmark
if they can light up the building in orange
for the month, a week or just one day.
•
Cover lighting fixture with orange lighting
filters, gels or create a visual display using
the Hunger Action Month Logo.
•
Tweet about #HungerActionMonth and
include the color orange or the Hunger
Action Month logo in your social media
