Advocacy Advancing policies for a hunger-free PA Many Pennsylvanians are stretched thin—and so are many food banks. We recognize the need for vigorous advocacy in both Harrisburg and Washington. For more than a decade, we’ve been working to secure funding, resources and support for hunger relief in Pennsylvania. Our Advocacy Priorities Federal Programs Feeding Pennsylvania advocates for federal support by advocating for a strong Farm Bill reauthorization and annual appropriations to ensure America’s most impactful anti-hunger programs get the funding they need. These programs include TEAFAP, SNAP, CSFP and WIC among others. Learn More Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System (PASS) Each year, PASS rescues millions of pounds of nutritious foods from Pennsylvania farmers into the charitable food system. The program works by offsetting the costs of producing foods grown or raised in Pennsylvania and distributing them to food banks around the state. Learn More Pennsylvania State Food Purchase Program (SFPP) Local leaders know their own community’s needs best—and this program gives cash grants to counties to help them provide food to people experiencing food insecurity. PA’s State Food Purchase Program is the largest of its kind in the United States. Learn More Send a Message Today for a Better Tomorrow Our voices are stronger together.
