Hunger 101 and paper plates

This week the Unity Church invited Foodshare to it's Eastern Region conference in Hartford. We presented Hunger 101 to the group and followed up with SNAP education and an advocacy exercise. Conference attendees were ministers and many had no idea of what is happening with SNAP in Congress.

They filled out paper plates, encouraging their legislators to keep the program strong. Several also had an interest in bringing the exercise back to their congregations. Attendees came from as far away as West Virginia, so a good number of Eastern region legislators will be hearing from them this month.

Foodshare can provide several good on line resources to help do the same activity in your faith group, school or civic group. Contact Sarah ssantora@foodshare.org to get details.
