Objective for Hunger Action Month is to involve others in the community, and when joining forces we will have a greater impact in the fight against hunger. This year’s theme is "Hunger Bites. Bite back." This has a double meaning: one, hunger is a bad thing, and two, that it has a painful biting effect on those who suffer from it. So, how do you "Bite back?"
