If you were able to join us for our first-ever advocacy town hall – thank you for joining and learning about how policy can impact our hunger relief work. Didn’t make it? I’ve got you covered!
I was joined by Dave Krepcho, CEO/President of Second Harvest Food Bank to provide a walk through of the actions we asked you to take to increase funding for hunger relief efforts. In 2020, we saw a total of 3,200 comments to your Senators and Congressional member. We engaged you – our advocates, donors and supporters and you answered the call. Your Senators and Congressional members received your message about why fighting hunger is important to you.
Dave and I shared the actions you took and the impact those actions had on the future of hunger. We even provided you with an opportunity to take action today. Follow the petition link below to tell Congress to vote yes for continued funding to make sure families continue to get access to the food they need through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP and expanding Pandemic-EBT through school closures. Towards the end of the call, we answered questions from the audience. You can watch the video recording of the virtual town hall below.
Your advocacy has made it possible to provide more food than anyone imaged could be possible in partnership with our federal, state and local governments. Thank you for being part of our advocacy efforts.
