September is Hunger Action Month, a time to raise awareness about food insecurity and, most importantly, take action.

There are so many ways you can help:
🥫 Donate food
💚 Make a financial gift
🤝 Volunteer
♻️ Turn your recycling into food
📣 Share the word about hunger in our community

Every action matters. Together, we can make sure our neighbors have access to nutritious food with dignity and compassion. 💛💛

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Our furry friends are family, too! For many of the families we serve at IFM, keeping pets fed can be a challenge when household budgets are tight.

Donating pet food to IFM is a great way to support our community. Please consider picking up an extra bag or can of pet food and donating it to IFM. Every donation makes a difference! 💛💛

Pictured: Nelson, who was very upset I was working instead of petting of him, and Benny 🥰

Please post pictures of your doggos in the comments! We want to see those cuties!
