Hunger will not end until its root causes – lack of job training, education, transportation,
childcare, literacy, affordable housing, healthcare, drug treatment just to name a few – are
addressed.

Through advocacy the Food Bank works to support and strengthen programs and policies
that guarantee adequate nutrition for everyone. We believe that unnecessary barriers
should be removed from the food assistance system so that people who are threatened
by hunger can meet their basic needs.

need to share this information with government agencies and elected officials and ask
them to make policy decisions that are fair to low-income Delawareans. Write, call or

email your legislators and let them know that ending hunger in Delaware is an

important issue that must be addressed. Click here to find your legislator.
