You may be asking yourself; "what is this actually going to do?" Well, the last conference on hunger led to expansions of SNAP and the creation of the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children more commonly known as WIC. This article in the Washington Post provides more insight and maybe more motivation to contribute to this process!
