Act to End Hunger 2004-2009

Act to End Hunger (PDF 1.3 MB)

The 2004-2009 Act to End Hunger was designed to provide a common resource, a common language and a common agenda for collective advocacy and action against hunger. It was a tool to help us work together and make a concrete difference.

The plan provided a menu of actions for Oregon's leaders and those in various sectors of the state. It provides multiple answers to the question, what can we do to eliminate hunger?
