Join us on Friday, November 14 as we explore solutions and best practices for ending hunger at the community level and the policies that underpin this work at the federal level. Every year we showcase innovative, multisector solutions to create systemic change, and explore how we can best fight hunger through legislation and policy.

The event registration fee is $50 per person. All sessions will be recorded and your registration will allow you to view any sessions you may have missed in the conference platform for up to 30 days.
