Since our founding in 1983, we have been an effective champion in the fight for economic, racial, and food justice. As a leading research and advocacy organization, we work to implement innovative yet practical solutions to hunger. We work to address the root causes of hunger and engage Americans of all backgrounds in the fight to ensure that our society provides living wage jobs and an adequate government nutrition safety net. By working to end hunger through government policy instead of charity, we know that change is within reach.
