Mayor proclaims September Hunger Action Month

Orange is the color that represents Hunger Action Month. Business leaders, artists, educators, government officials, students and residents are invited to show their support by donating food in Sarasota County.

An awards ceremony for the most orange creativity will be held Friday, Oct. 11. The time and location of the ceremony will be announced in the coming weeks on All Faiths Food Bank’s Facebook site and website.
