The Commission proclaimed September 2018 as Hunger Action Month in the City of Pharr. Hunger Action Month is hosted by the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley, Inc., an organization whose mission is to educate the community about hunger and promote how to take action against it in various ways, such as through its community garden which is used to educate kids on the benefits of healthy eating and other community  programs. The Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley, Inc. will be hosting fun and educational activities throughout Hunger Action Month to educate families on self-sustainability.
As part of their month-long activities and initiatives, the Food Bank RGV, Inc. will host the 13th Annual Empty Bowls Luncheon at the Pharr Events Center on Tuesday, September 18th, 2018 from 11 am to 1:30 pm.
