When kids aren’t hungry for breakfast, they can be hungry for more.
More ideas. More doing. More dreams. Hunger Is works to make breakfast happen in neighborhoods across America to eradicate childhood hunger, supporting efforts to provide 5 million more breakfasts this year to kids in need.
In 2004, galvanized by the hunger crisis that continues to plague Oregon, Fred Ziari founded Farmers Ending Hunger. A 20-year veteran of agri-business, he was determined to find a way to use the region’s bountiful agricultural resources to fight hunger in local communities.
Today, Farmers Ending Hunger has dozens of committed partners in local family farmers, growers and ranchers who donate a portion of the food they grow. But additional resources are necessary to harvest and process the raw crops into food products that are easily stored and distributed to the hungry through emergency food networks in Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Services related to hunger relief include the National Hunger Clearinghouse and Hotline that includes summer meal site locations and database of organizations providing food assistance.
The Clearinghouse provides a database of non-governmental, grassroots organizations that provide food assistance. These organizations enter their information into the Clearinghouse database, which is available to the public. The database is searchable and downloadable if you click on Find Meals. The organizations are also added to an email list that receives monthly newsletters on nutrition news and education.
It also provides the USDA National Hunger Hotline, which operates from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM Eastern Time. If you need food assistance, call 1-866-3-HUNGRY or 1-877-8-HAMBRE to speak with a representative who will find food resources near your location. The USDA National Hunger Clearinghouse is currently operated by Hunger Free America.

Formerly the New York City Coalition Against Hunger, Hunger Free America has gone national.
The organization runs an AmeriCorps VISTA Anti-Hunger and Opportunity Corps Program that engages 60 Americans in full-time this year (and will engage close to 100 next year), in year-round community service in 29 states from coast-to-coast, who collectively aid tens of thousands of families. They launched www.HungerVolunteer.org to make it easier for people to volunteer across America for high-impact anti-hunger projects. This portal is a state-of-the-art tool to enable Americans anywhere to be more effective when they volunteer.
The organization also manages the National Hunger Clearinghouse and National Hunger Hotline on behalf of USDA. Anyone in the U.S. can call 1-866-3-Hungry to learn where they can access government and private food resources in their local community. Last year the hotline enabled more than 10,000 households, calling from all 50 states, to locate food.

What if three major industries could come together to reduce the amount of waste being sent to America’s landfills? At the same time, what if more food could be donated to help feed hungry families? These are the goals of the Food Waste Reduction Alliance (FWRA), an initiative of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (representing food and beverage companies), the Food Marketing Institute (representing food retailers), and the National Restaurant Association (representing the foodservice industry). Established in 2011, the FWRA has already engaged more than 30 leading companies and stakeholder partners, including Feeding America and Waste Management, Inc. With a record one in six Americans receiving food assistance and landfills that are increasingly over-burdened, the need to tackle the challenges of food waste has never been more urgent.
A collaboration of over thirty business, nonprofit, foundation and government leaders committed to reducing United States food waste in the United States. ReFED seeks to unlock new philanthropic and investment capital, along with technology, business and policy innovation, to achieve this goal, which will catalyze tens of thousands of new jobs, recover billions of meals annually for the hungry, and reduce national water use and greenhouse gas emissions. ReFED was formed in early 2015 to create a Roadmap to Reduce U.S. Food Waste, the first ever national economic study and action plan driven by a multistakeholder group committed to tackling food waste at scale.

A public service program of the GWA Foundation. Garden writers are asked to encourage their readers/listeners to plant an extra row of produce each year and donate their surplus to local food banks, soup kitchens and service organizations to help feed America’s hungry.
There are over 84 million households with a yard or garden in the U.S. If every gardener plants one extra row of vegetables and donates their surplus to local food agencies and soup kitchens, a significant impact can be made on reducing hunger.
PAR provides focus, direction and support to volunteer committees that promote herb, vegetable and community gardening at the local level. Then we provide training and direction to enable the committee to reach out into the community. Finally, we assist in coordinating the local food collection systems and monitor the volume of donations being conveyed to food agencies.
