Raise Awareness About Hunger!
Many people are not aware of the hunger epidemic in their community. If educated, more people would join in the fight to eliminate hunger. You can help support solutions for those struggling with hunger by helping to mobilize public, local and state lawmakers. By adding your voice to the group of advocates raising awareness about hunger, you’ll be helping people in your community and across the world.
Have you or has someone you know experienced food insecurity and economic hardship? Do you have a story that you’d like to share but don’t know how? Would you like to acquire skills to make positive change in your life and community?
