“As Mayor, I believe no child should have to face the day wondering where their next meal will come from. My commitment to the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger is rooted in the belief that access to nutritious food is essential to a child’s ability to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Ending childhood hunger requires all of us, local government, businesses, schools, and organizations working together with compassion and purpose. Through our End Childhood Hunger Committee and our community partnerships, we are committed to identifying barriers and creating lasting solutions. When we invest in the well-being of our children, we invest in the future of DeRidder and Beauregard Parish.“
