Hunger Is A Policy Choice
At the San Antonio Food Bank, we believe hunger is solvable. While food assistance meets immediate needs, lasting change requires action at the policy level. Hunger is a policy choice—and we all have a role to play in shaping policies that strengthen our communities and ensure no one goes hungry.
The Hunger Is a Policy Choice campaign is our call to action. We’re rallying Anti-Hunger Advocates to unite for meaningful change by learning about our policy priorities, engaging with elected officials, and helping to build a community of consciousness by amplifying our efforts with your network. Collectively, we can make an impact on the policies that shape access to food and critical resources for families in need.
