About Me:
The Hunger Coalition has played a critical role in increasing participation of eligible households in the Food Stamp Program. We also launched a statewide campaign effort to expand the WIC program, School Breakfast and the Summer Feeding Programs across the state. It was the Hunger Coalition that initiated and organized the first income based childcare feeding program in Georgia. Tens of thousands of low-income people were assisted as a result of these initiatives. This was the focus of our work during the late 1970's and the 1980's. Today, our mission is holistic and comprehensive in addressing the conditions of hunger and poverty. The coalition coordinates several community projects that serve low income families. They include: The Up and Out of Poverty NOW Project, the Georgia Living Wage Coalition, Umoja Farmer's Market and Thriftshop, the Umoja Organic Garden, The Hunger Hotline and Georgia Human Rights Union.
