Throughout September 2025, we recognize National Hunger Action Month. The Region of Durham and local municipalities are united against hunger, and this year they’re again helping spread awareness about hunger, collect food donations, and organize food banks.
Hunger is still present in many communities, and it is our duty to help. Each year, as the number of residents in the region grows, the number of visitors to food banks continues to rise.
