Be a hunger-fighting advocate! Learn about how you can advocate for policies that affect those experiencing hunger and how you can make a difference in your community.
Join us in person at our Brooklyn Park facility to learn about our current Hunger-Free Schools campaign! During the COVID-19 pandemic, students have been able to access meals at school for free. Studies show that free meals have increased academic success, improved physical and mental well-being, and fostered social solidarity by removing the stigma. But this program is set to end this school year.
We must urge our local representatives to invest in hunger free schools, because kids cannot learn when they are hungry. At this session, we will provide you with straightforward, effective ways to advocate for these important policies. Make your voice heard at Second Harvest Heartland so you can join us in being hunger-fighting advocates.
