Houston Food Bank: Public Policy VISTA
 
 
 
The proposed program will bring the dedicated, passionate, and goal oriented individuals of AmeriCorps VISTA to the Houston Food Bank and our 500 member agencies. Throughout the project, VISTA members will bring the Houston Food Bank, Partner Distribution Organizations and our member agencies in the Houston - Galveston Region to a higher level of efficiency. VISTA members will look at the face of hunger, view how we are currently providing solutions to hunger and poverty, and analyze our member agencies, the Houston Food Bank and external networks. Through this project, we are hoping to identify weaknesses within the infrastructures and poverty solutions and make improvements to eliminate poverty and hunger within the Houston-Galveston region.
