A Hunger-Free Community Must:

• Create access to healthy, nutritious food in a dignified and socially acceptable manner: Implement the Choosing Healthy Options Program, increase Backpack Buddies participation to 5,000 children by June 2014, expand distribution to 7 million pounds by June 2014, launch the Mobile Food Pantry Program and convert Harvest House to a Community Food Center Model.
• Embrace and act upon the core belief that hunger is unacceptable: Have the community belief that hunger is a problem in our region and act upon the belief that hunger is unacceptable.
