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.
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!
Tell your state lawmakers Colorado has the resources to keep SNAP strong — now we must use them to protect food access for families across our state.
McGovern-Dole Food for Education is one of the world’s most effective hunger-fighting programs. Tell Congress to keep kids fed and thriving!
Upcoming Volunteer Events & Trainings

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.
