Hunger Action Month Partnership with Wake County Public Libraries & Pantries
Each year the Wake County Cooperative Extension partners with libraries to host information stations. These tables will provide families with resources to help them talk about hunger with their children and discover meaningful ways to take action against it.
We have also partnered local food pantries with participating library locations to collect non-perishable food items in support of individuals and families in need. Check back soon to learn which libraries and pantries we will be partnering with for this year's Hunger Action Month!
