“The Mayors Alliance’s efforts to end child hunger are essential in harnessing a strong, national coalition of local officials championing the needs of our youth. The need in our community continues to grow, and we must utilize every resource to combat child hunger’s root causes.”

“Scranton’s Hunger Task Force is committed to improving communication between service providers to better serve our families and eradicate hunger in our city. We’ve identified gaps and potential solutions and are moving into the execution phase. The Mayor’s Alliance is helping us stay focused on our goals.”
