This September, join FIND Regional Food Bank and our 200 Feeding America partner food banks across the country for the annual nationwide campaign to spread awareness and engage the public in the movement to end hunger. In every community in America, people are working hard to provide for themselves and their families; yet in 2025, 48 million people experienced food insecurity. In our Coachella Valley, 1 in 6 people experience food insecurity, and the unemployment rate is more than double the national average. This is why FIND Regional Food Bank, is calling on the community for support during Hunger Action Month.

Leave no local hungry

Record high inflation at the gas pump and grocery stores is dragging on longer than expected, pushing more working people into food bank lines. FIND Regional helps feed 122,000 people each month struggling t

Everyone has the power to make an impact…

It all starts with one action:

97% of every donation supports our food programs

Take collective action to end hunger in our community.

Together we can take one million actions to end hunger.

Host a Virtual Food Drive!

Start a fundraising page online and ask your organization, workplace, or friends and family to donate to end hunger!

While supply chain issues continue and transportation costs increase, donating funds over food is the most effective way to help FIND provide hunger-relief.

Go Orange!

Orange is the color of hunger awareness because it stands out when hunger does not. Too often, our neighbors skip meals in silence to cover their rent, pay for medicine, or keep the electricity on—but that is unacceptable.

In 2026, there are nine cities in the Coachella Valley and two cities in the Hi-Desert Morongo Basin region that are committed to leaving no local hungry in their neighborhoods. To bring attention to the injustice of hunger in our communities, many Coachella Valley cities and partner organizations lit up their City Hall, a central monument, or a staple building orange.

Take a picture of the community buildings lit up orange, wear orange, and keep advocating for our locals facing food insecurity!
