Hunger Action Teams |

What is a Hunger Action Team?Hunger Action Teams (HATs) are coalitions that bring people from across a community together to develop local solutions to hunger. HATs are at work in towns and neighborhoods across the region - leveraging local resources and relationships to raise awareness about hunger, connect services to make it easier for people to get help, and launch new initiatives that strengthen each community’s capacity to meet local needs. This comprehensive solution to hunger requires seeking out new avenues of collaboration to create the greatest possible impact. HAT members include individuals struggling with hunger, nonprofit organizations, town government, the faith community, local businesses, food donors, and concerned individuals. Check out this article from a Foodshare newsletter that highlights the power of Hunger Action Teams.
