We stand together with the black community, knowing that “justice for all” is a choice.⠀
⠀
We will act together because words alone cannot fix what is broken. We will:⠀
⠀
- Escalate our work to advance equity, diversity and inclusion throughout our organization.⠀
- Understand we do not have all the answers and will partner with experts in this area to advance our growth.⠀
- Diversify our staff and board to include more women, members of the black community, other people of color and people with lived experience of hunger.⠀
- Increase our investment in communities of color, who we know are disproportionately affected by poverty and hunger.⠀
- Listen to and amplify underrepresented voices and advocate for government policies that can make a positive impact on the lives of people facing hunger.⠀
- Expand our efforts to bring members of underrepresented communities together and provide a platform to co-create solutions.⠀
- Hold ourselves accountable, by posting actions taken.⠀
⠀
You should expect progress. ⠀
⠀
We stand together.

About Feeding America
Feeding America is committed to an America where no one is hungry. We support tens of millions of people who experience food insecurity to get the food and resources they say they need to thrive as part of a nationwide network of food banks, statewide food bank associations, food pantries and meal programs. We also invest in innovative solutions to increase equitable access to nutritious food, advocate for legislation that improves food security and work to address factors that impact food security, such as health, cost of living and employment. We partner with people experiencing food insecurity, policymakers, organizations, and supporters, united with them in a movement to end hunger. Visit FeedingAmerica.org to learn more.
