The Sacramento Hunger Commission is a member voting
body comprised of diverse representatives of the Sacramento community.
A program of the Community Services Planning Council, the Commission
was created in 1990 with joint funding from the City and County
of Sacramento. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month
from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. The public is always welcome to attend.
Commissioners serve in a voluntary capacity for a one-year term,
renewable for up to five years. Applications for 2005 will be
available in November 2004.
The Hunger Commission believes that hunger can be
prevented and is not acceptable in a just society that values
the dignity and worth of every individual. Therefore, the goal
of the Hunger Commission is to eliminate hunger and food insecurity
by assuring that all people are able to provide themselves adequate
food for an active and healthy life.
To accomplish this goal, the Commission addresses
root causes of hunger and food insecurity and creatively pursues
positive improvements by:
- Effectively advocating for people who are hungry or at risk
of hunger
- Serving as Sacramento County's primary information source
about hunger and community food security
- Coordinating community resources to increase opportunities
and education for people to become self-sufficient
