The Food Bank of West Central Texas is conducting a Million Meal Challenge through Sept. 30.

The campaign is the Food Bank’s largest community-wide effort of Hunger Action Month, a nationwide movement held each September to raise awareness of hunger and inspire people to take action in their communities, according to a news release from the Food Bank.

“One community. One million meals. That’s what we’re asking West Central Texas to accomplish

together,” said Brandon Forrest, President and CEO of the Food Bank of West Central Texas. “No one person, business or organization has to provide a million meals. But when each of us does what we can, those individual actions can add up to something extraordinary for our neighbors.”

The Food Bank of West Central Texas serves people throughout a 13-county region through a network of more than 150 partner agencies, food pantries and meal sites. Click here to donate. The news release listed four ways to join the Million Meal Challenge:

• Start a Fundraiser–Community members, businesses, churches, schools and organizations can create their own fundraiser and rally friends, customers, coworkers and others to help reach the one-million-meal goal.
• Spread the Word–Supporters can help grow the movement by sharing the Million Meal Challenge and encouraging others to participate throughout September.
