Hunger Action Day

Interested in advocacy work to help fight hunger in Washington state? Join local organizations for Hunger Action Day in Olympia Feb. 1 to talk with legislators about priorities and to meet advocates statewide.

No previous experience is necessary and “you’ll have plenty of company and support if you’re nervous,” according to the Anti-Hunger & Nutrition Coalition website. Sign up by Jan. 19.

Northwest Harvest, a PCC partner and an organizer of the annual event, said in a statement that “Showing up and speaking out makes a difference for food-insecure families and children in Washington. Together on Hunger Action Day, February 1, we can send a clear message to legislators that no one in Washington should go hungry.”
