We believe that the more low-income Americans who vote, the more power we will have as a society to push elected officials to enact the policies needed to eradicate poverty and hunger. This month, we're offering a special volunteer opportunity to work as a nonpartisan "Precinct Captain" in an assigned neighborhood in a select state, where volunteers will remotely use prepared materials and talking points to encourage low-income Americans to vote. Find out more or sign up to be a precinct captain here and help us strengthen the anti-hunger movement this election cycle!

The USDA Hunger Hotline continues to provide vital food assistance to Americans facing unprecedented levels of hunger as we enter the eighth month of the pandemic and ensuing economic recession. Almost 23 percent of callers last month asked for help enrolling in SNAP, resulting in 1,721 callers being referred to SNAP application resources. 

Save the Date: Tuesday, December 1st

Giving Tuesday is only 2 months away! This year it's more important than ever for us to come together and give to those hit hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes families with children, senior citizens, college students, and newly unemployed adults — particularly those in the Black and Latinx communities who have suffered disproportionately from Covid-19.

Mark your calendars for December 1st, and we look forward to all that we can accomplish with YOUR help.
