A Chance to Give Back

On November 22nd, from 12:15PM - 1:30PM join Repair the World and Hunger Free America in the fight to end hunger in America.
Volunteers will be doing important research and making phone calls to ensure the most up to date information is available on food resources. Trainings will be provided. No need to leave your home, join us virtually from anywhere in the world and help the USDA Hunger Hotline connect to the people who need it the most.

Day of Service

On September 27th, Hunger Free America joined with partners for Day of Service ahead of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. The day started with a kickoff rally, which included several speakers, including Congressman Jim McGovern and former USDA Secretary Dan Glickman. Volunteers then spread out to help with a local urban farm, pack meals and toiletries, and distribute information about SNAP and WIC. You can check out the Day of Service below!

Running for a Cause
We are so excited that Danny Graham will be running in the TCS New York City Marathon on November 6th in support of HFA!
Danny is passionate about Hunger Free America's mission to end hunger in America:
"Having access to food is a human right, so it’s important to develop programs to ensure everyone can eat, the first step to living healthy lives!"

At Hunger Free America, over 85% of our donations go directly to program expenses, and every dollar we spend on SNAP and WIC outreach results in $60 of benefits for needy families.

Can you help Danny by to donating to his fundraiser for Hunger Free America?

Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids
Here at HFA we are advocating for an important piece of legislation that will deliver a comprehensive, science-driven reauthorization of federal child nutrition programs that meets the needs of children and families.

The bill would:
* Expand access to school meals
* Preserve the future of school meal programs
* Modernize the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
* Provide additional funding to the USDA's Hunger Hotline, managed by Hunger Free America
* Address food insecurity during the summer
* Improve school meal capacity and sustainability
* Strengthen the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
