SALEM — Mayor Kimberley Driscoll has joined more than 50 other mayors from across the country in the new nonpartisan Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger coalition, where mayors take action to end childhood hunger in cities nationwide.
Driscoll is the first Massachusetts mayor to join the coalition.
With around 12 million children in the country living in families considered food insecure, Driscoll said the need for a coordinated and thoughtful approach to tackling food insecurity in communities has never been more apparent.
