Rather, they focus on using the power they have as citizens in a democracy to support policies that address the root causes of hunger and poverty. It was designed to be an effective means of providing information about Congress and links to related Internet resources via the World Wide Web. The mission of the Congressional Hunger Center is to fight hunger by developing leaders. The CHC strives to develop new and existing anti-hunger leaders so that this sad but solvable problem receives the level of attention and action it deserves. The state provides the food to local agencies that they have selected, such as food banks, which distribute the food to soup kitchens and food pantries that directly serve the public.
State agencies receive the food and supervise overall distribution.
The Fighting Hunger in Georgia website is a Miller Brewing Company, Philip Morris Companies Inc. and Kraft Foods initiative supporting today's hunger-relief efforts and contributing to tomorrow's hunger prevention through a unique combination of new research, community partnerships, public awareness initiatives and financial contributions. State agencies administer the program at state and local levels, including determination of eligibility and allotments, and distribution of benefits. The program operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The donations of staple food, paid for by The Hunger Site's sponsors, are distributed to the world's hunger hot-spots by the United Nations World Food Programme. The aim of the Hunger Web is to help prevent and eradicate hunger by facilitating the free exchange of ideas and information regarding the causes of, and solutions to, hunger.
