Collaborative Groups
CalFresh Task Force - The San Diego Hunger Coalition is the facilitator of the CalFresh Task Force, a group of more than 60 community partner organizations that provide CalFresh application assistance, and liaisons from each of the San Diego County HHSA Family Resource Centers. Members meet on a monthly basis to share and receive program updates and collaborate to improve the systems through which San Diego residents apply for and receive CalFresh food assistance.
California Association of Food Banks (CAFB) - Provide CalFresh enrollment outreach training and on-going consultation to more than 40 organizations. Support a robust reauthorization of the Child Nutrition programs. The San Diego Hunger Coalition is providing leadership as part of CAFB’s statewide Alliance to Transform CalFresh.
California Hunger Action Coalition (CHAC) - Coordinate advocacy so that those with limited resources can meet their nutritional needs. The San Diego Hunger Coalition provides leadership as part of CHAC’s steering committee.
Childhood Obesity Initiative (COI) - Collaboration grounded in the belief that solutions to hunger must employ nutrition-focused strategies that tackle the related problems of hunger and obesity. The San Diego Hunger Coalition is a member of the COI Leadership Council.
Hunger Free Activists - Help us create a Hunger Free San Diego through policy change. By influencing local, state and federal legislative and administrative policy, and by increasing awareness among legislators and the public about the solutions to hunger, we can create measurable change in San Diego.
