Every year, more and more people turn to the Food Bank as governmental nutrition programs fall short. To address the root causes of hunger, we need a comprehensive policy approach to make our government food programs more effective.

 

Take the fight against hunger beyond the Food Bank! Hunger only exists because we accept policies that allow it to continue.
Stay informed and take a stand against hunger now.

• Educating elected officials about the problem of hunger and policy solutions
• Mobilizing our donors, volunteers and community to speak up against hunger
• Participating in the citywide Food Security Task Force that outlines actions that the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor can take to address hunger in our communities
• Partnering with food banks throughout the state and country to address hunger at the national level
