Alliance to End Hunger’s Hunger Free Communities Summit is an annual conference that attracts hundreds of hunger-fighters across the country from governments, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, corporations, foundations, students and community residents. Join us on Thursday, November 14 as we explore solutions and best practices for ending hunger at the community level and the policies that underpin this work at the federal level. This year we showcase innovative, multisector solutions to create systemic change, and explore how we can best fight hunger through legislation and policies such as the Farm Bill, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) and Older Americans Act (OAA). The Summit will feature workshops that highlight the impact of the elections, collaborations around hunger and health, effective policies or programs for reducing community food insecurity; addressing root causes of hunger and social justice; sharing best practices and resources; and building skills among participants. The event registration fee is $50 per person. All sessions will be recorded and your registration will allow you to view any sessions you may have missed in the conference platform for up to 30 days.
