Welcome to September—a month extra close to our hearts here at Conscious Coconut because it’s Hunger Action Month!

Since launching Conscious Coconut in 2015, our incredible CoCo community has helped provide over 1.2 million meals to neighbors facing hunger across the United States. What began as a promise to make every purchase mean more has grown into more than a decade of love, nourishment and collective impact. We are endlessly grateful to every person who has helped us reach this milestone.

Created by the Feeding America network in 2007, Hunger Action Month is a nationwide campaign held every September to raise awareness and inspire action to end hunger. This year, Feeding America is asking everyone to “Play Your Part,” because meaningful change happens when neighbors, volunteers, advocates, donors and businesses work together. Hunger Action Day is Tuesday, September 29, 2026.

All September long, we’re doubling our giveback. Conscious Coconut will donate TWO meals through Feeding America for every purchase made during Hunger Action Month.

Hunger in the United States

Hunger is not a distant issue. It exists in every community across the country.

According to Feeding America’s latest Map the Meal Gap study, approximately 48 million people in the United States experienced food insecurity in 2024—including more than 14 million children. That is the highest level recorded since 2014.

Food insecurity exists in every U.S. county and congressional district. Approximately 25 million people facing hunger—nearly half of the total—had incomes too high to qualify for federal nutrition assistance such as SNAP.

Behind every number is a child, family, senior, veteran or neighbor working hard to make ends meet. Rising costs can leave families facing impossible choices between groceries and necessities such as housing, utilities, transportation and healthcare.

At Conscious Coconut, we have always believed that one of the kindest things you can do is help provide someone with a meal. That belief has been part of our foundation since the very beginning.

Our Platform of Love

Since launching in 2015, Conscious Coconut and our community have helped provide over 1.2 million meals—and counting.

Every purchase helps us continue supporting Feeding America and its work to provide food to neighbors across the country. Your everyday wellness ritual becomes part of something much bigger: caring for people, strengthening communities and helping fill bellies right here in the United States.

This Hunger Action Month, we invite you to join us and Play Your Part.

How to Get Involved During Hunger Action Month

1. Wear Orange

Orange is the color of hunger awareness. Wear orange throughout September and encourage your friends, family and coworkers to join you—especially on Hunger Action Day, September 29.

2. Donate

Make a donation to Feeding America or directly to a food bank in your community. Every contribution helps food banks provide nourishing meals and essential support to neighbors facing hunger.

3. Volunteer at a Local Food Bank

Give your time by helping a local food bank pack, sort or distribute food. Feeding America can help you find a food bank and volunteer opportunities near you.

4. Use Your Voice

Advocate for policies that increase access to nutritious food and protect essential hunger-relief programs. Contact your elected officials and let them know that ending hunger should remain a priority.

5. Organize a Fundraiser or Food Drive

Invite your workplace, school, neighborhood or group of friends to participate. A small local effort can become part of a much larger movement.

6. Spread the Word

Follow @feedingamerica and @consciouscoconut on social media. Share why Hunger Action Month matters to you, highlight ways your community can participate and encourage others to take action using #HungerActionMonth.

7. Shop With Purpose

Support Conscious Coconut and other conscious brands that make giving back part of their mission.

All September long, every Conscious Coconut purchase helps provide TWO meals through Feeding America.

Donating, volunteering, advocating, partnering and fundraising are among the central ways Feeding America is encouraging people to participate throughout September.

Together, We Can Help Fill More Bellies

Hunger Action Month reminds us that no action is too small. Whether you donate, volunteer, advocate, spread awareness or make a purchase with purpose, your action matters.

Together, we can continue caring for our neighbors, strengthening our communities and helping build a future where everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.

From the bottom of our coconut-loving hearts, thank you for helping us fill hungry tummies. We couldn’t have done it without you—and we’re only getting started.
