Join Efforts to Reduce Hunger in Wisconsin!
WHAT IS THE HUNGER SUMMIT?
Hunger is a real problem for Wisconsin families. Statewide, over 600,000 people live in households where there is not always enough food for an active, healthy life. This represents 9.5% of Wisconsin households, or almost 1 in 10.
You may already be working to address hunger in your community. Together we can achieve even more! You’re invited to join others from around Wisconsin to learn and share, network and collaborate, and be inspired with ideas and actions to further make a difference. Your input is crucial as we shape priorities for Wisconsin!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
There’s a seat at the table for you! Food providers, activists, public and private agency staff, educators, concern citizens, members of the faith community, business leaders, local elected officials, or anyone interested in reducing hunger in Wisconsin. We especially encourage members of local hunger prevention coalitions to attend.
