Introducing the Hunger Free Communities Network

Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 2:00pm – 3:00pm Eastern Time

Registration Link: http://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/17fb9g4b865

The Hunger Free Communities Network (http://www.hungerfreecommunities.org) is a web-based, nation-wide platform for those committed to ending hunger at a local level.  Created and maintained by the Alliance to End Hunger, this website is unique in that it provides a nationwide platform and clearinghouse for those active in local anti-hunger work to connect with one another, learn from each other’s best practices, and access resources from across the local and national anti-hunger community.  Some of the features you can expect to find there include a vibrant blog, lively discussion forums, a searchable  directory of Hunger Free Community coalitions, and an expansive resource library.  The ultimate goal of this website is to help unleash the full potential of the community-based anti-hunger movement.

Please join the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Alliance to End Hunger, the Corporate Hunger Coalition, and local and state-wide anti-hunger leaders from across the country as we discuss our vision for this new resource, demonstrate some of its key features, and answer your questions.

Confirmed Speakers include:
Ambassador Tony Hall, Executive Director, The Alliance to End Hunger
Duke Storen, Director, Office of Strategic Initiatives, Partnerships, and Outreach, Food and Nutrition Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture
Kori Reed, Vice President, Foundation and Cause, External Affairs and Communications, ConAgra Foods, representing the Corporate Hunger Coalition
