National Family Meals Month

National Family Meals Month encourages families to share one more meal at home each week during September, using items from the grocery store. The month-long observance was launched by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) Foundation in September 2015 as part of its family meals movement.

The campaign also invites food retailers and manufacturers to support family meals by showcasing existing meal solutions and sharing educational messages. In 2016, FMI reported that more than 100 grocery store chains and food manufacturers had committed to helping Americans enjoy one more meal at home each week.
