Join this summit to learn and gain tools for fighting hunger, building a culture of health, and making an impact in your community.
​

• Nearly 15% of Kansas households lack consistent access to food.
• To eliminate hunger in our state, Kansans would need an additional $185,071,000 in their combined household budgets.
•  Two of three eligible seniors aren't getting food assistance in our state.​

Whether it's helping more Kansas kids participate in school meals and other Child Nutrition Programs or removing barriers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and more, through your action and advocacy we can reduce hunger in Kansas.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided.
