Hunger Advocacy
Hunger knows no boundaries, affecting individuals regardless of race, age, gender, or other factors, though it disproportionately impacts minority groups. Increasing awareness and education about these challenges is the first step toward creating change, and advocating for policy reform is crucial to eliminating hunger.
