Addressing Hunger Through Public Policy
Our Public Policy Priorities
Feeding Washington prioritizes policies and programs that strengthen food access and address poverty in our state. The causes of hunger are complex and include geographical, racial and social inequities that we believe must be addressed in unison.
Our Policy Framework focuses on six areas:
- Improving Food Systems
- Preventing Hunger
- Reforming Taxes, Budgets, and Nonprofits
- Connecting Hunger and Health
- Reducing Poverty
- Working for Equity and Justice
