Campaign to End Childhood Hunger<br />
Since 1970, the <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Research</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Action</strong> <strong>Center</strong> (FRAC)<br />
has been leading the fight to end hunger in America. FRAC is<br />
a non-profit <strong>and</strong> nonpartisan research, policy, training, public<br />
education, <strong>and</strong> advocacy center that also serves as the hub of a<br />
national network of hundreds of state <strong>and</strong> local organizations<br />
seeking to reduce hunger <strong>and</strong> improve nutrition.<br />
FRAC is the national coordinator of the Campaign to End Childhood<br />
Hunger, which has achieved huge gains in feeding children in communities<br />
throughout the United States. Along with our grassroots <strong>and</strong> national Campaign<br />
partners, FRAC is playing a key role in exp<strong>and</strong>ing the availability of the School<br />
Breakfast, Summer <strong>Food</strong>, Afterschool <strong>Food</strong>,WIC, <strong>and</strong> Child <strong>and</strong> Adult Care <strong>Food</strong><br />
Programs, the Emergency <strong>Food</strong> Assistance Program, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Food</strong> Stamps.<br />
With the right combination of public <strong>and</strong> private efforts, hunger in the United States<br />
is one problem that can be solved, <strong>and</strong> solved in a way that improves health <strong>and</strong><br />
well-being, strengthens families <strong>and</strong> communities <strong>and</strong> improves the future for children<br />
<strong>and</strong> the nation.<br />
