Good morning, my name is Kathy Fisher and I am the Policy Director at the Coalition Against Hunger. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today about a critical, yet underutilized support for student health and learning: school breakfast.

With inauguration here, we can't help but wonder what the next four years will hold for our country and for low-income families and individuals in our region who struggle with food insecurity—also known as hunger. With America as divided and polarized as ever, we fear for the worst. But knowing that so many Americans believe in and are committed to working towards a fair and equitable society, we hope for the best.

The clock is ticking to help local families this Giving Tuesday, and we have two ways for you to get involved!

For most of the year, those who operate food pantries and soup kitchens perform a thankless task and largely go unrecognized. That is what makes our annual Hunger Fighter Awards breakfast one of our favorite events. It celebrates hundreds of emergency food providers who help to put food on the table of our neighbors in need.
