Collaborative Anti-Hunger Advocacy Committee

What is the Committee?

We are a group of anti-hunger stakeholders across NYS who are collaborating on advocacy work to push anti-hunger efforts in New York State.

The committee is open to all who are interested in anti-hunger advocacy.

In these meetings, we convene speakers on pressing policy issues and share the efforts of the network.

The last committee meeting was on Thursday, March 14, 2024 from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Please sign up for our mailing list to ensure you receive the invitation to the next committee meeting.
