Hunger among Americans is real. According to USDA, 13% or 44.2 million people in the United States, including 13 million children, are battling hunger and feeling food insecure as of 2022. (USDA)

With a vision to make America hunger free, the Humanity First USA Food Security program seeks to reduce hunger and food waste, provide food to our communities and raise awareness.

By fasting for over 12 hours a day in this month of Ramadan, Muslims experience firsthand the hunger so many food insecure people live with on a daily basis. But while they may enjoy their favorite foods after breaking their fast in the evening, millions do not have the luxury of even one full meal a day.

We urge everyone who receives this message to donate at least the value of one meal while you fast to fill a hungry stomach. Supporters from any faith can experience a day of fasting or skip a meal and donate the cost of that meal to feed children, parents, and elders who are suffering because of hunger in America.

This campaign will support Humanity First USA’s 8 food pantries across the USA and many of our HFUSA international partner food programs.

Local leaders dedicate any day this month as Humanity First Beat Hunger Day 2024.
