Even though Pennsylvania is a world leader in food production and processing,
far too many state residents struggle every day with hunger and food insecurity.
In fact, there is no district in our Commonwealth where hunger does not exist.
As elected officials in Pennsylvania it is both our moral obligation and
fiscal imperative to decrease the high human and economic toll of hunger in the
Commonwealth in a cooperative bi-partisan way.
That’s why we formed the Legislative Caucus on Hunger. Our goal is to bring
together government at the state, federal and local levels and work together
with community partners to effectively address hunger and the underlying causes
contributing to it. This website will include information on what the caucus is
doing to fight hunger in Pennsylvania as well as information on food banks and
other places where people can go to receive help or to make a donation. Hunger
hurts Pennsylvania – but working together, we can help those in need.
