White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health: Hear What People with Lived Experience with Hunger Shared- Benyamin Chao
More than 50 years have passed since the United States convened the White House conference that helped elevate hunger as a national priority and sparked major improvements and expansions to the federal nutrition programs.
This September, the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health will take place with the goal of ending hunger. Read FRAC’s strategies on how to end hunger in the U.S. by 2030. In addition, FRAC, along with other anti-hunger organizations underscored five priorities for the conference.
To ensure these priorities and strategies are put into the forefront during the conference, FRAC nominated several people to speak about their lived experiences with hunger during a series of virtual, regional listening sessions hosted by the White House. In this blog series, read the remarks from some of these advocates.
Here are the remarks from Benyamin Chao.
