Together Against Hunger: Turning Every Closing Into Community Impact
August 31, 2026
Our Food Bank Network is Here to Help — Find Food and Resources
No single organization can solve hunger alone. Building a hunger-free California requires collective action from food banks, community organizations, businesses, policymakers, volunteers, and local leaders working together to strengthen the state’s food safety net.
This Hunger Action Month, California Food Banks™ is inviting real estate agents and brokerages to join Together Against Hunger, a new giving program that connects everyday real estate transactions to meaningful support for neighbors facing food insecurity.
Real estate professionals do more than help people buy and sell homes. They help build stronger communities.
Agents help people find homes, put down roots, and invest in their futures. They know their neighborhoods, support local businesses, and build connections that often extend far beyond a transaction.
That makes the real estate sector uniquely positioned to contribute to the broader effort to build stronger, healthier communities. Hunger Action Month offers an opportunity to transform that local commitment into meaningful impact.
Together Against Hunger was created to give real estate professionals a simple way to support neighbors facing food insecurity while continuing the work they already do every day.
Through the program, participating agents and brokerages commit up to 1% of earnings from closed deals to support California Food Banks™ and its statewide network.
The idea is simple:
Every closing represents more than a transaction.
It is an opportunity to invest in the well-being of the community where people live, work, and build their lives.
By connecting everyday business activity to hunger relief, real estate professionals can help strengthen California’s food safety net while demonstrating their commitment to the communities they serve.
One of the most powerful aspects of Together Against Hunger is that it connects individual actions to a larger movement.
When real estate professionals participate, they become part of a statewide network of community partners working toward the same goal: a hunger-free California. Alongside food banks, advocates, policymakers, educators, farmers, and community organizations, they help create the collective action needed to address hunger at scale.
Participants also receive information about the impact of their support, helping demonstrate how contributions help provide food and support to communities across California.
Ending hunger in California requires collective action. Food banks, community organizations, businesses, policymakers, and community leaders all have a role to play in building a stronger food safety net. Real estate professionals can be part of that effort.
This Hunger Action Month, consider how your everyday work can help create meaningful community impact. Together Against Hunger offers a simple way for California’s real estate community to support neighbors facing food insecurity and strengthen communities across the state.
Together Against Hunger offers California’s real estate community a simple way to turn everyday transactions into meaningful community impact. Get involved today.
