EMPTY PLATE CHALLENCE

Join us in taking a stand against hunger. Skip one meal to show solidarity with neighbors facing hunger and take steps to help.

How it works:

  1. Pick a date in September and a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) to “leave your plate empty.”

  2. Reflect on the challenges many in our community face.

  3. Take action:

  • Order a Hunger Action Month T-shirt and materials
  • Host a food drive at work or school
  • Donate $10 (Or the cost of your skipped meal) by texting FEEDKERN to 50155
  • Volunteer- a.lopez@capk.org
  • Join a Kern County Food Policy Council action team- klowery@capk.org

Your skipped meal can help fill another family’s table.
