Community Outreach and Advocacy Programs

Our outreach and advocacy programs include:

Hunger 101 - Hunger 101 is a unique learning experience in which participants are asked to take on the life circumstances of someone in Humboldt County who may be hungry. The purposes of this hour-long exercise are to help participants understand the complex economical and social circumstances that lead to and perpetuate hunger, develop compassion and empathy for people in need by helping participants understand how poverty creates tough choices and provides few solutions, fuel participants’ motivation in the fight against hunger and provide specific suggestions for how to take action.
