Hunger Action Month takes center stage in Fort Pierce as Mayor Linda Hudson officially proclaims September as a month dedicated to raising awareness about food insecurity. During the recent City Commission meeting, the mayor highlighted the pressing issue affecting 250,000 individuals—including children, seniors, and veterans—across the Treasure Coast who face food insecurity weekly.

The proclamation emphasizes the city’s commitment to combat hunger and mobilize resources in collaboration with the Treasure Coast Food Bank. Mayor Hudson stressed the importance of food banks and hunger relief organizations in addressing these critical needs, urging citizens to participate in local efforts to end hunger.

As part of the observance, the Treasure Coast Food Bank will coordinate Hunger Action Day on September 9, 2025, along with various events throughout the month aimed at shedding light on food insecurity and encouraging community involvement. This initiative not only seeks to raise awareness but also to inspire action among residents to support those in need.

The proclamation serves as a call to action for the Fort Pierce community, reinforcing the city’s dedication to tackling hunger and ensuring that all citizens have access to essential resources.
