About
WhyHunger believes a world without hunger is possible. We provide critical resources to support grassroots movements and fuel community solutions rooted in social, environmental, racial and economic justice. We are working to end hunger and advance the human right to nutritious food in the U.S. and around the world.
Volunteer Opportunities
For decades, WhyHunger has operated a national ‘Find Fooddatabase, Hotline, and Texting service to connect people with free, nutritious food in their local communities. In response to COVID-19, we have enhanced our existing database and launched a truly comprehensive, crowd-sourced and open-sourced Find Food COVID Map to connect anyone in need across the U.S. with free food, locally.
You can help us enhance this important resource at this critical time so we can help more people access food! Without having to leave your home, you can help us by:
- Keeping the map up to date by calling food distribution points and asking a series of questions about their hours and operations in light of COVID-19. Using our web app tool, the information you collect will automatically get updated in the map!
- Initiate and conduct telephone inquiries and/or internet research for new emergency food sites
- Enter new site information into the National Find Food Database
- Update and maintain emergency food sites within the database on a periodical basis
