The National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference, along with the National CACFP Forum, will bring together anti-hunger and anti-poverty advocates, government officials, sponsoring organizations and nutrition and anti-obesity groups, child advocates, and representatives of food banks and food rescue organizations for this three-day event.
