September is Hunger Action Month and that means a lot for the Central Illinois Food Bank. Krista Lisser, Public Relations Manager for Central Illinois Food Bank said Hunger Action Month means they want people to be aware that hunger is present in Illinois, and citizens need to come together to help prevent it. She said her goal for people in the area is to do at least one action to make sure someone doesn't have to go hungry one night.

Lisser also said as we enter the fall months many holidays are approaching and the Food Bank needs donations to help give families a nice meal for those holidays and the season to come.

Fresh food Donations can be made at the food bank in Springfield or donate can to your local can drop. For more information call 217-522-4022 or visit centralilfoodbank.org. Lisser appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
