“No community goes untouched by food insecurity, and every Mayor has a role to play in addressing childhood hunger.”

“We live in a country that has a blessing of riches when it comes to food, and there’s no excuse for children, in particular, to be experiencing hunger.”

“One of the best things about Mayors is our power to convene, and the Mayor’s Alliance to End Childhood Hunger is an excellent way to share best practices and to inspire mayors to prioritize this issue at a local level.”
