October is National Hunger Action Month, a time to recognize that even a temporary hardship can leave local families struggling to put food on the table.

When Tara's school-year income paused for the summer, her family had to stretch her husband’s paycheck to cover every expense, relying on community resources to bridge the gap until work resumed in the fall.

Food security powers our community’s collective well-being, yet nearly 1 in 3 Story County households faces food insecurity today. This Hunger Action Month, you can drive real impact by making a gift, giving your time, or sharing local food guides with your neighbors.

Join us in fueling collective well-being and keeping our community strong all year long!

At UWSC, we know that access to food leads to collective well-being, which is why we invest in food security year round. During Hunger Action Month, we want to say a special thank you to all of our local pantries and meal providers in Story County.🌾🧡

For Reese, volunteering with United Way of Story County wasn't just about giving back—it was about finding connection, purpose, and seeing local needs firsthand. From delivering nearly 1,400 pounds of food to meeting a pony with an inhaler, her journey shows how hands-on service changes lives!

This month, I’ve been thinking about what it looks like to invest in our community, whether that’s a day spent volunteering or giving generously to support initiatives that are helping our friends and neighbors thrive. We saw the power of our community’s investments in action throughout September.
