We believe that everyone should have access to sufficient healthy food.
In order to end hunger and food insecurity, the priorities and consciousness of our community must shift.
We must, as a community, believe that hunger is unacceptable.
Join us, with one voice, and tell Central Texas that "hunger is unacceptable."

The most powerful message you can send to your legislative representatives is a hand-written letter. You can also drop off your sign at the Food Bank, or mail us your sign (8201 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78745). Please write your name and full address on the back of your sign so your legislative representatives know you're located in Central Texas, and sign it.
On September 30, the last day of Hunger Action Month, we'll "take action" and deliver your signs to the legislative body at the Capitol in Austin.
3. Pass it on & stay informed.
Stay informed by joining the CAFB Community. We'll give you updates about the campaign, and ways to take action during Hunger Action Month in September.
Tell your friends about the campaign using your social networks online like Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, Twitter and more. Or just do it the old fashioned way in person or by phone.
