FRAC Chat

By Cory Jackson, Nutrition and Wellness Director, YMCA of Western North Carolina

Tomorrow, congressional leaders are presenting the Congressional Gold Medal to former Senator Bob Dole. The Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) is pleased to add its felicitations to Senator Dole, a lifelong leader in the fight against hunger in the U.S. and around the world.

FRAC’s live-feed provides updates on how federal nutrition programs are responding to meet the needs of those affected by recent natural disasters.

A new white paper from FRAC reviews the latest research from academic, government, and other sources on the harmful impacts of poverty, food insecurity, and poor nutrition on the health and well-being of children, adults, and older adults.

In late February nearly 1,500 anti-hunger advocates will gather in D.C. for two days of networking opportunities and content-rich workshops, followed by a Lobby Day on Capitol Hill. Hear from five attendees about their experiences in years past.
