Answer: With tens of billions of dollars in anti-hunger funding at stake, government actions can dramatically increase or reduce
hunger and poverty. Public policy advocacy is often the single most effective step anyone can take to fight hunger. If you do seek to start a new program in an under-served area, you should be
aware that new soup kitchens and food pantries are often unable to obtain food from government programs and traditional
food banks until they have been in operation for significant periods of time, sometimes up to two to three years. If you are a
new soup kitchen or food pantry, food drives will most likely be your primary resource until you have been in operation for
long enough to qualify to purchase food from your local food bank.
