Organized by the California Hunger Action Coalition (CHAC), Hunger Action Day takes place each May, bringing together hundreds of advocates from across the state to lend their voice to the efforts of hunger-relief organizations that sponsor and support meaningful policy proposals in the state legislature. Policies that include SB138: Count Me in: Expand Access to School Meals to increase access to school meals by implementing Medi-Cal Direct Certification statewide and AB1219: Good Samaritan Food Donation Act to help encourage more business to donate their excess or past sell-by-date food and clarify and expand existing liability protections.

This was the sixth year FSD participated, providing San Diegans with the opportunity to meet elected officials and advocate for legislation affecting hunger in our communities.
