There are so many ways to fight hunger... and each way can earn you points!
Teams can earn points by completing actions AND by having their Team Members complete actions. The most successful Teams will be those with Team Members who are actively engaged throughout the Hunger Action Month Challenge. The Challenge runs from September 1st - September 30th, and Teams can compete all month long!
There will be limited-time opportunities during the Hunger Action Month Challenge for extra points, typically through contests or mini-challenges. Make sure to stay updated with our e-mails so you don't miss out!
Once you've found an Action to complete, do your stuff and then click the Submit Points button so that we can add your points to your total.
