Whether it’s your first conference or your tenth, the National Anti-Hunger Policy Conference is designed to help you learn, connect, and take action through engaging sessions, regional meetups, and a powerful Lobby Day on Capitol Hill.

🥗 This is before the full impact of OBBBA is felt. That impact is starting to show up, as expanded work (ahem, work reporting -- paperwork) requirements go into effect. Soon many states will have to pay a large share of SNAP benefits or opt out of SNAP. The results could be catastrophic.
