The Hunger Collaborative
Through this initiative, we are seeking to collaborate with other organizations to launch programs supporting the ending of hunger and malnutrition.
The crisis of food insecurity and malnutrition in the US is bigger than any one organization can handle. MAVF is committed to building a hunger collaborative of all stakeholders to address this issue. If you are a part of the food production and distribution ecosystem, a charity organization, think tank, or if your organization is somehow deeply involved in eliminating hunger and malnutrition, we want to collaborate with you.
