Advocate

Empowering members of our community to overcome the challenges that lead to food insecurity and move to a place of thriving takes more than good food. It requires advocating for policies and programs that reduce food insecurity on a systemic level.

Advocacy means giving voice to an issue. If you’re concerned about hunger, you can donate food or funds to Harvesters. But you can also talk about the issue of hunger with your family, your neighbors, your colleagues and your elected officials. Help them better understand the scope of the issue and how it impacts not only individuals, but our community at large. Use your voice and help make a difference for people struggling with hunger so we can all embrace a healthier future for our community.

Double your summer impact!
