Company Profile

Company Overview

The?Congressional Hunger Center?is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that works to make issues of domestic and international hunger a priority to policymakers in the U.S. government and to raise a new generation of leaders to fight against hunger and poverty. Our mission is to train and inspire leaders who work to end hunger, and to advocate public policies that create a food secure world. We strive to be a leader in the movement to ensure access to food as a basic human right for all people. We create and nurture a community of innovative and inspiring leaders who act as change agents, bridging the gap between grassroots efforts and national and international public policy to provide access to nutritious, affordable, and culturally appropriate food. We accomplish this mission through our advocacy, policy and coalition work, and our three leadership development programs; the?Bill Emerson National Hunger Fellows Program, the?Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows Program, and the Zero Hunger Internship.
