Since 2006, National Hunger Awareness Day has raised awareness about the solvable problem of hunger in Canada.

On June 2nd 2009, food banks across the country will host events to tell the story of the work they do, and the stories of hungry Canadians assisted by food banks.

Hunger in Canada can be alleviated.  You can play a part in reducing hunger on Hunger Awareness day by volunteering at your local food bank, donating food and funds, talking to your government representative, holding an awareness event in your community, or spreading the word that you think hunger is at an unacceptable level in Canada.
