Hunger Free America (formerly known as the New York City Coalition Against Hunger) is working to build a nonpartisan, grass-roots membership movement to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food. Their long term goal is not just to ameliorate the problem, but to advocate for the public policies necessary to eliminate hunger entirely. Hunger Free America operates the USDA National Hunger Hotline, connecting people across the country to emergency food providers near them. They have created www.hungervolunteer.org, a national volunteer matching website. Hunger Free America’s national AmeriCorps VISTA program, known as the Anti-Hunger and Opportunity Corps, advances its mission through partner organizations in some 30 states. In New York, their affiliate, Hunger Free NYC, works to provide direct benefits access to those applying for SNAP and WIC benefits, and to publish guides directing individuals requiring assistance to food pantries, soup kitchens and other critical resources. Hunger Free America and Hunger Free NYC are at the forefront of fighting for policy change that will strengthen our ability to address the root causes of domestic hunger.
