Become a Hunger-Relief Advocate!

 

Advocacy is critical to fighting hunger.  Becoming a hunger-relief advocate offers many opportunities to weigh in on important public policy issues in Washington DC, Denver and in our community. Our advocates communicate with their legislators about hunger issues. They talk to their friends and other social contacts about the need for a solution to hunger. Many share their personal experiences with hunger. Together, we can bring about true change.

Step 1: Join the Hunger Action Center

The  Hunger Action Center is an online community that brings together individuals dedicated to making a difference in the fight against hunger. The Hunger Action Center’s goal is to raise awareness about the reality of hunger in America and advocate for legislation that addresses the many factors that contribute to food insecurity. It is a resource to help you get informed and stay active as we advocate for legislation at the federal, state, and local level.

Step 2: Follow Current Federal Legislation and State Legislation. The Food Resource Action Center is another excellent resource. 

Step 3: Call/Write Your Congressional Leaders. Learn more.

Call Congress!  Ask your Members of Congress to reject any proposals to cut any type of funding to anti-hunger programs including SNAP, TEFAP, CSFP, and WIC.  To complement your call, write a letter or email your Members of Congress to let them know the need, importance, and impact of anti-hunger programs.  We have heard directly from Members of Congress how important and persuasive these stories can be.  Be sure to send your letters to the district office of your Members of Congress or use the Hunger Action Center to write your own personal email.
