** We didn’t think that needed to be explained.

Earlier this week, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed Americans could have a healthy diet for as little as $3 a meal.

Hunger Free America spoke with The Washington Post ([link removed]) about why this kind of recommendation is out of touch, at best.

“Is it possible to cook one healthy meal for $3? Yes, it is. Is it easy to live a lifestyle where you consistently are able to put together healthy balanced meals for $3? No, it is not." - Hunger Free America CEO Joel Berg, The Washington Post

At the same time, Americans are paying attention, calling out our leaders, and stepping up. Dedicated people across the U.S. are joining the anti-hunger movement — not just by volunteering, but also by becoming advocates against hunger:
* Helping neighbors access grocery assistance programs they’re legally entitled to for support.
Verifying the hours and availability of community food programs as volunteer Data Detectives ([link removed]) .
Demanding leaders at every level ensure their constituents can feed their families without going into debt, turning off the heat, or rationing their healthcare.


** We all have a part to play in ending hunger in this country.
------------------------------------------------------------


** Here are three ways you can be a part of it right now:
------------------------------------------------------------
* Join the MLK Serve-A-Thon ([link removed]) in-person or virtually this weekend, or sign up to become a Data Detective ([link removed]) .
* Register for our free virtual panel ([link removed]) Monday night: Honoring MLK's Dream to End U.S. Poverty & Hunger.
* Make a monthly donation ([link removed]) of $3, $33, or $333, if you’re in a position to do so.

Dedicated people across the U.S. are making a difference in the fight against hunger. Thank you for being a part of this movement.

We’re glad to have you here. Stay tuned.
