One in six Americans go hungry every day according to Feeding America.

Giant Food Stores and Martin's Food Markets are asking for customers to help "Bag Hunger" during September's Hunger Action Month.Customers can donate $1 at the checkout at their local Giant or Martin's during the annual Bag Hunger in-store campaign Sunday through Sept. 19. A similar campaign held earlier this year raised $640,297 to support local hunger relief efforts."The fight against hunger is an everyday battle, and for most it hits too close to home as many families and children go without a meal," said Tom Lenkevich, Giant/Martin's president.Knowing that high protein meat is most needed by hungry families and is often in short supply, Giant/Martin's also continues to provide meat that would otherwise go unsold to regional food bank partners through its Meat the Needs program.Since 2010, more than 3 million pounds of meat have been donated to local communities from all Giant/Martin's locations.
