About Hunger Action Day

During each legislative session, the Coalition hosts a Hunger Action Day to highlight the issues facing hungry families in Washington and bring their stories to legislators in the position to make change that reduces hunger.

We are asking you to help us by bringing your friends, family and co-workers.

If you work for an organization dealing with hunger or poverty-related issues, please bring as many clients, customers, staff, volunteers and board members that you can.

The success of our efforts in Olympia rely on your voices and the voices of those we serve being heard!
