ADVOCACY
Second Harvest is a non-partisan organization, but we do advocate for policies affecting the neighbors we serve. You can make a difference by speaking up and speaking out against hunger and its root causes. By making a call or sending an email to your elected officials telling them to make food access a priority, you can impact change.
YOUR LIVED EXPERIENCE MATTERS. If you have been personally affected by hunger, we want you to tell your story. Our elected officials and policy makers must hear what our neighbors are facing and how best to help.
