Modern Prairie In Action

At Modern Prairie, we believe caring for one another begins the way so many good things do: around a table. This Hunger Action Month, we're setting one more place: for the child who comes to school hungry, for the family stretching a tight budget, and for the older neighbor eating alone.

Rather than a scattering of separate efforts, we've chosen three organizations whose work, together, tells one story: nourishing our neighbors at every stage of life.

A Single Bite: supporting children and families locally

In Sullivan County, where our co-founder Melissa Gilbert and Chef Cheryl live, A Single Bite meets childhood hunger with nourishing, scratch-made meals, hands-on food education, and partnerships with local farmers. It's a cause close to our hearts, and this month we're helping share its work with our whole community. Just $10 sets a family meal for three - a simple way to pull up another chair.

Feeding America: connecting our community nationally

Hunger Action Month is Feeding America's national September campaign, and its network of more than 200 food banks means there's a way to help right in your own community. Find your nearest food bank to donate, volunteer, or drop off a needed item.

Meals on Wheels America: caring for older neighbors

For many older adults, a warm meal and a friendly knock at the door are the difference between isolation and connection. Meals on Wheels nourishes older neighbors and keeps them company — and you can help by delivering a meal, writing a note, or supporting a local route.
