战胜饥饿不仅是向有需要的人提供紧急食物，还意味着采取行动解决饥饿的根源，包括贫困和系统种族主义。
在整个加利福尼亚，饥饿无处不在-COVID-19大流行使饥饿更加严重-但它也是可以预防的。通过我们的公共政策工作，我们寻求为食品银行提供必要的资源，增强营养安全网络，并为所有加利福尼亚人创造公平获得食品的渠道。
加州的食品银行是美国首批将政策和宣传工作纳入其反饥饿工作核心部分的银行。我们通过提供与决策者沟通的场所来协助我们的成员食品银行。
国家政策
我们与食品银行以及我们的政策和立法合作伙伴一道，努力通过州法案，该法案将有助于消除加州的饥饿并减轻贫困。您可以在我们的网站上了解最新的州立法动态 国家立法追踪者.
