The start of September brings not only a new season, but also a time to highlight a shared mission: fighting hunger. September is Hunger Action Month, when communities across the nation come together to raise awareness about the pervasive issue of hunger and to take meaningful action against it. At Coal Creek Meals on Wheels, we see firsthand the impact that hunger has on our neighbors, and we are committed to making a difference—one meal at a time.
Hunger in Our Community: A Silent Crisis
Hunger isn’t always visible. It affects people of all ages - from children who go to bed with empty stomachs to seniors who must choose between buying groceries and paying for medication. In our community, hunger often hides in plain sight, affecting those who might be your neighbors, friends, or family members. The reality is that food insecurity touches far more lives than we realize, and it’s a problem we can’t afford to ignore.
Coal Creek Meals on Wheels: Nourishing Our Neighbors
At Coal Creek Meals on Wheels, we are dedicated to combating hunger every day. We provide nutritious meals to anyone in need. But our service goes beyond just delivering food—we offer companionship, a sense of security, and the knowledge that someone cares. For many of our clients, the meals we provide are a lifeline, helping them maintain their health and independence.
We are proud of the work we do, but we can’t do it alone. Hunger Action Month is a time for all of us to step up and be a part of the solution. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading the word - everyone can make a difference.
