The VISTA project will build new awareness of this issue of food insecurity, which will create a new pool of donors and volunteers to address the issue now and in the future. The VISTA member will also create ways for food banks and agencies to communicate the issue of hunger in their communities and garner support in the form of volunteers, funds and food.
