Louisiana Food for Louisiana Citizens

 

On Monday, May 19th, the LFBA recognized the ongoing crisis of hunger across Louisiana by holding a rally at the state capitol. Each of the five food banks from across the state gathered along with over 150 faith-based and nonprofit representatives to advocate for funding in House Bill 1 for the LFBA. Supporters arrived to urge legislators to leave the LFBA in the budget and possibly increase funding to provide further assistance to 850,000 Louisianans who are living in poverty. With last year's state funding of $5 million, the association was able to provide over 7 million meals to 400,000 hungry men, women and children. 

Second Harvest would like to share its sincerest thanks will all of our member agencies, Winn Dixie, Blue Runner, and each of our partners for their support of this event.
