  • JoAnn Connelly, President of the Greater Philadelphia Food Bank President, truly believes that hunger is a solvable problem.

The Hunger Congress is a fantastic opportunity for people interested in hunger issues throughout the Mid-Atlantic region - and the media - to hear from key elected officials and hunger advocates about recent state and federal legislative policies that will affect hunger in our region.
