Our Key Issues
Child Hunger
Kids can’t thrive on empty stomachs.
Our Mission
We’re breaking the silence on child hunger.
Nutritious food is a necessity — not a luxury. SCAN is leading the fight to end child hunger by building relationships with lawmakers, activating our network of grassroots advocates and supporting sustainable solutions for the world’s hardest-to-reach communities.
November 3 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm CST

A dire hunger crisis is closing in on East Africa. Tell Congress to demand a new Global Food Security Strategy!
More funding cuts could threaten our nation’s most effective hunger-fighting program. Kids can’t thrive when they’re hungry. Tell Congress to protect SNAP!
Programs like WIC and Food for Peace help families put nutritious meals on the table across the globe. But current budget proposals would cut their funding. Tell Congress to protect funding for programs that keep kids fed!

I have to give credit to SCAN’s Advocacy Summit for the ball of fire I’ve become. It pulled out a passion in me I never knew I had.
