Summer Associates – Anti Hunger Corps VISTA
Hunger Free America's Summer Associates program engages members and partnering organizations in moving families beyond the soup kitchen by breaking down barriers and providing improved access to healthful, nutritious foods. Our program aims to address hunger, poverty, and build the capacity of the agencies that address these issues. Summer Associates assist programs that improve access to food from government and nonprofit sources for targeted populations in particular and food insecure people in general; enable residents of food deserts to access healthier foods through farmers markets and community gardens; grow the number of low-income children able to obtain free school breakfasts and summer meals; and recruit and manage more volunteers, particularly high-impact, skilled volunteers.
