For more than two decades, the Coalition Against Hunger has worked to allievate hunger in our region.

We support those struggling with food insecurity, whose voices are not always heard but whose experience of hunger is very real.

And your support makes what we do possible!

In 2017 that support helped us:

Happy Giving Tuesday! Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, on Giving Tuesday we pause from shopping for gifts for loved ones to give a gift of a different kind — helping to end hunger in our community.

Tax reform is a boring, confusing issue that many of us want to ignore. But the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" currently being considered in Congress needs your attention, as it will have a dramatic and devastating impact on low-income American families if allowed to become law. 

Today, people around the country are speaking out using #TheseCutsHurt on social media to raise awareness about how proposed budget cuts will hurt their families, children, communities, and this country as a whole.

“We have people here that need help, but we also have to reach outside of our community when disasters like this happen,” said Derek Felton, Community Organizer with the Coalition Against Hunger.

Today, Derek is dropping off boxes of supplies to the Red Cross destined for hurricane relief efforts in Texas and Puerto Rico. Hundreds of items were collected from the dozens of local food pantries that The Coalition supports through our Victory In Partnership or “VIP” Program.
