Year after year, cohort after cohort, we will build the movement to end hunger, and we’re not nearly ready to slow down. We can do this. https://t.co/7PVAAfC1M2

Fired up and ready go? Help us build the public and political will to end U.S. hunger by 2030 by taking the End Hunger In 30 Challenge starting October 3rd! If you don't understand the problem, you can't solve it. #WHConfHungerHealth https://t.co/qwLoQlxjsf

One of many things we are glad to see mention of: making it easier for college students to access SNAP and efforts to increase enrollment of eligible participants! @HungerCenter @emv52 @Jess_Bartholow #realcollege https://t.co/afe9AX2Ulf

Leadership development has been the Hunger Center's strategy for ending hunger since our inception. Our alums have been leading the work across this country that must happen if we want to cure the causes of U.S. food insecurity instead of simply treating the symptoms.

[Shannonmaynard @shannondmaynard]

No one wants hunger to exist, but it's helpful to know why it exists, who is most affected, and what programs are working if you truly want to solve it. Don't just donate or volunteer -- educate yourself about the issue by taking the End Hunger in 30 Challenge.

[Secretary Tom Vilsack @SecVilsack]

Save the date: the second-ever @WhiteHouse Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health is on September 28. Recommendations from the last conference resulted in the creation of WIC and the significant expansion of SNAP. We’re looking forward to this year’s recommendations.

The World Food Program won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for its efforts to combat hunger in regions facing conflict and hardship and at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has driven millions more people to the brink of starvation. https://t.co/lEq45LlwTM

Well deserved, World Food Program staff! Proud to work alongside Nobel Peace Prize winners who go where so many won't go and care for the millions struggling with the violent condition that is hunger. @WFPUSA @WFP @HungerCenter

@rinsana @BethMooreLPM In my Bible, the woes in Luke 11 and Matthew 23 reference Pharisees. I do know the Saducees were more elite and concerned with politics than faith, which might make one compare them to Falwell.

🚨BREAKING🚨

The @USDA says it will NOT extend waivers that allow states and schools to more easily serve school meals during #COVID19.

The waivers will expire in 9 days.

This is a major blow to the fight against child hunger.

[Shannonmaynard @shannondmaynard]

@RobWittman @MarkWarner @timkaine Please don't go on vacation before helping keep food on family's tables by boosting SNAP. This will give help to those who need it most right now. We need your leadership and courage to do the right thing for Virginia's families.

[Ellen Levinson @ESLevinson]

Hunger is increasing in the USA and there are solutions. This @HungerCenter for public service video explains how we can help. #endhunger https://t.co/IYuMK8gEKu
