Hunger Action Month 2026

Let's take action this Hunger Action Month to ensure everyone in our community has access to fresh, nutritious food 💪🍅

Hunger Action Month is a national campaign held every September to raise awareness and inspire action to end hunger in America. Food insecurity in Central Ohio remains a pressing issue, with rates of hunger continuing to rise every year. 15.9% of Franklin County and 14.7% of Licking County residents experience hunger – this translates to over 238,000 individuals in our community with uncertain or limited access to quality food. These percentages are above national averages, underscoring the need for collective action.

That's why, this Hunger Action Month, we’re inviting you to take a seat at The Garden for All’s table – and make room for a neighbor 🤝

Browse our digital takeout menu, choose the meal you’d like to enjoy, and “order” it for a neighbor experiencing food insecurity with a donation. Every order helps grow and distribute fresh, organic produce to our 10+ food pantry partners in Franklin and Licking Counties 🥗

Take action to Fight Hunger and Grow Community 🌱

Please note: menu “orders” are symbolic donations, not actual food purchases. Your meal purchase is a donation that funds the growth, harvest and distribution of your meal's fresh ingredients to local food pantries.
