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.
