🍎 JANUARY: Poverty Awareness Month

Why Sack Lunch Matters

January is Poverty Awareness Month, a time to acknowledge a reality many face every day—hunger doesn’t take a day off. Sack Lunch matters because food is dignity, and dignity reminds people they are seen, valued, and loved.

We may not know everyone’s story, but we know this: hungry families, children, and individuals need care and connection. Everyone is our neighbor. When we feed the body, we nourish hope—and hope builds bridges.

In addition to meeting immediate needs, financial awareness and education can help bridge long-term gaps. When we support access to resources, knowledge, and opportunity, we strengthen entire communities.

Let’s bridge the gap—together.

Everyone is our neighbor. Hunger is real. Compassion changes lives.
