Advocate
Advocate:
Informing the community and our elected officials about hunger is a constant challenge in our hyper information driven world. The Food Bank RGV is constantly amplifying the voices of our clients who don’t have the resources to inform policymakers. Visit this page often to get the latest news on Advocacy and how you can help our neighbors have access to nutritious food.
If you’d like to learn how you can boost the signal and become a voice for change, please contact us.
Our current Call to Action:
We are asking all our Members of Congress to support a strong Farm Bill that will fully fund vital programs like SNAP. SNAP and other programs give working families what they need to stay productive and successful in school. These programs not only help our clients, but they help support U.S. farmers across the country.
