One of those leaders is Araceli, an immigrant mother who once struggled to navigate the SNAP application process. After receiving support from Hunger Free America, she joined her local FAB to ensure others would have an easier path:
“I’m a volunteer because I don’t just want my kids to benefit, but my whole community, more than anything.”
Now she is part of a growing network of FAB leaders conducting peer outreach, guiding immigrant families through SNAP enrollment, and advocating for stronger anti-hunger policies at the local and state levels.
