Hunger Action Month
Join ACCESS in the Fight Against Hunger
This Hunger Action Month, we are asking our community to take action against hunger by supporting the Rogue Powerpack Program. Last year, the Rogue Powerpack Program served 621 local elementary school children, providing 112,524 meals over the weekends during the school year. This year, ACCESS is seeking community support to feed an additional 130 children in the program. With your support, we can end hunger in Jackson County!

Give Food
Support ACCESS by hosting a food drive at work or with your friends & family. We have created a Hunger Action Month toolkit with everything you need to get started!
Host a Food Drive
Give Time
ACCESS is always needing volunteers to help our Food Program operations. Without our generous volunteers, ACCESS would not be able to feed 1 in 5 Jackson County residents.
Volunteer
“Hunger Action Month not only highlights the need that is out there, but it also gives us the opportunity to show how involved our community is year-round as we work together to address food insecurity.
I want to give a huge thank you to our incredibly dedicated volunteers, remarkably generous donors, and committed community partners. Without you, we would be lost and, more importantly, families would go hungry. Thank you for all you do!”
– Marcee Champion, Director of Food Programs at ACCESS
