Advocating for Anti-Hunger Policies |
||
Advocacy is an essential way to bring attention to the needs of low-income individuals. Cindy McCown, our Vice President of Community Engagement and Policy, heads our efforts to educate policymakers and stakeholders at the local, state, and national levels. We're proud to report that thanks to her leadership, we've made it into Feeding America's 2015 Advocacy Hall of Fame!

Studies show that getting kids in the kitchen to help prepare meals is a very effective way to teach them the value of eating well.
