Hunger Free America National AmeriCorps VISTA
 
 
 
Hunger Free America (HFA), in conjunction with some of the nation’s most effective anti-hunger and poverty organizations. Hunger Free America is a nonpartisan, national nonprofit group working to enact the policies and programs needed to end domestic hunger and ensure that all Americans have sufficient access to nutritious food. Our National AmeriCorps VISTA program is one of organization's cornerstone programs. For over twenty years, we have placed AmeriCorps VISTAs with food security organizations across the country. Currently, we place 58 AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers, nationwide. Our program engages VISTA volunteers and partnering organizations in moving families beyond the soup kitchen by breaking down barriers and providing improved access to healthful, nutritious foods. HFA's VISTA program aims to address hunger, poverty, and build the capacity of the agencies that address these issues. AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers help improve access to food from government and nonprofit sources for targeted populations in particular and food insecure people in general; help raise and sustain funding for critical food security efforts, enable residents of food deserts to access healthier foods through farmers markets and community gardens; more low-income children to obtain free school breakfasts and summer meals; effective nonprofit groups fighting hunger and poverty to raise more money and recruit and manage more volunteers, particularly high-impact and skilled volunteers.
