Join us for our annual MLK Serve-A-Thon


** The Fight for a Hunger Free America this January
------------------------------------------------------------
"What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn't earn enough money to buy a hamburger?” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Join us for our Annual MLK Serve-A-Thon honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy of fighting to end poverty and promote social justice. The 2022 Serve-A-Thon will feature both in person and remote service activities, as well as learning workshops, with a focus on raising awareness of the similar hunger struggles people face throughout every part of the country.

Hunger Free America in the News Around the Country
In November we released our annual hunger survey, laying bare the the crisis of hunger and food insecurity in America. Since then, our CEO Joel Berg has been interviewed by reporters throughout the country, from Louisiana to Hawaii, about how vitally important government programs have been to preventing mass starvation. You can watch, read, and listen to all of our coverage.

In 2021 we were proud of our tireless advocacy to expand the social safety net and ensure that millions of people were able to access much needed benefits. As we begin a new year, we are more committed than ever to fighting hunger. To that end, we strongly support President Biden's Build Back Better Agenda, particularly the Pandemic-EBT program and an extension of the Child Tax Credit, which has already lifted over 3 million children out of poverty.
