Hunger Action Day

This article was originally published in January 2024

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.”
