The food assistance system is broad and complex. Most of the food distributed to food insecure households in Indianapolis comes from federal nutrition programs administered by the State. These programs provide 80% of all food assistance. Advocacy for these programs is essential to ensuring that the government plays its part efficiently and effectively.
Indy Hunger Network has an Advocacy Committee that meets every month and includes members from IHN and other area anti-hunger organizations. We draw on the public policy expertise of multiple organizations including MAZON, Feeding Indiana’s Hungry, Bread for the World, Indiana Coalition for Human Services, Feeding America, and Food Research and Action Center.
