Irvine, CA — Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Irvine) and Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County hosted Hunger Action Month volunteer events at the Second Harvest Distribution Center and Harvest Solutions Farm in Irvine. September is Hunger Action Month – an annual nationwide campaign that unites Food Banks, anti-hunger organizations and the public to inspire people to take action against hunger and to raise awareness for those facing food and nutritional insecurity in our communities.
“Hunger Action Month reminds us all that there are thousands of our neighbors who struggle with food and nutritional insecurity,” said Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Irvine). “We’re also reminded that there are many caring and compassionate individuals in our communities who volunteer throughout the year to ensure their neighbors have consistent access to nourishing food and no one goes hungry.”
“Thank you to Assemblywoman Petrie-Norris for her partnership and steadfast support of Hunger Action Month, and thank you to the thousands of volunteers who give their time each year to help us ensure that our neighbors have access to the food they need to thrive,” said Claudia Bonilla Keller, CEO, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County. Throughout the month of September, we encourage everyone to take collective action to help raise awareness of the food and nutritional insecurity that exists in our Orange County community.
