Every year since 1963, May has been designated by the National Council of Senior Citizens as the month for the United States to appreciate and celebrate older adults and their contributions to our communities.
Feeding America food banks like the St. Louis Area Foodbank participate in the movement by raising awareness and showing support for the 4.8 million seniors facing hunger in our country.
You can do your part to help increase awareness for the issue of senior hunger by joining our social media campaign #SolveSeniorHunger.
• MAKE a sign with the handwritten hashtag: #SolveSeniorHunger
• POSE for a photo with a senior you know, while holding your #SolveSeniorHunger sign
• SHARE the photo on Facebook and/or Twitter
