September is Hunger Action Month, Feeding America. OSU Extension Educator, Patrice Powers-Barker shares about this year's event on WTOL Good Day. (Wednesday, Sept 3rd, 2025)
To contribute to healthier, hunger-free Ohio communities, students, staff, faculty, alumni and other volunteers representing numerous universities will pack 300,000 meals at OSU Columbus campus on September 11th, 2025. The program is a collaboration among the Ohio State Buckeye community, including Ohio State student life, athletics, the chief wellness officer, the Alumni Association, the College of Food Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and local OSU Extension teams, including SNAP-Ed community nutrition. Grant funding provided by Coca-Cola and the 9-11 Day.org Foundation. Here's an article and short video of last year’s Food Kindness project. In 2025, the packaged meals will be distributed to partners in Northwest Ohio.
Although August 8th is “sneak a zucchini on your neighbor’s porch”, many vegetable gardens are still producing, and many food distribution partners will accept fresh produce.
