Are You Aware?

National Hunger Awareness Day is an effort to raise awareness of—and donations to help end—hunger in America.

It was created in 2002, at a time when there was a significant increase in the number of Americans unable to feed their families. Hunger-relief organizations such as the Society of St. Andrew were forced to cope with this increased demand while working in an environment with less food surplus and fewer charitable dollars available. Clearly this dramatic disparity between increased demand and decreased supply needed to be addressed. National Hunger Awareness Day emerged as an important way to increase awareness about hunger in America.

National Hunger Awareness Day is observed on the first Tuesday of June each year.
