Advocacy

Fighting hunger takes more than just providing emergency food to people in need - it also means taking action to address the root causes of food insecurity and poverty.

Public policy has an enormous impact on the resources we’re able to distribute and the amount of assistance needed by our community members, and that’s why we strategically engage in advocacy work at the federal, state and local levels. In partnership with the California Association of Food Banks, our team educates the public and policymakers about food insecurity and encourages them to partner with us on programs and policies that’ll improve food access.
