Arizona Hunger Advisory Council Meeting
Published December 22, 2008 @ 10:35AM PT
The Arizona Hunger Advisory Council meets monthly to discuss food security issues in the state of Arizona. This month's meeting also contained an update on the Arizona Partnership to End Childhood Hunger, and in particular, the launching of its new web presence and on-line community.
As the Partnership moves forward, a knowledge-base of community food security best practices will be available for everyone's use at www.endchildhungeraz.org
The Hunger Advisory Council encourages everyone to become involved in ending child hunger. Three easy things you can do to help are:
1) Educate Yourself on Child Hunger Issues - stay connected to www.endchildhungeraz.org
2) Get involved in a Community Project - visit www.change.org/endchildhungeraz/projects
3) Invite Others to Join the Partnership! - http://www.change.org/endchildhungeraz/community/invite
