Feeding Louisiana

Want to see how a day of powerful advocacy comes together? Here is a breakdown of how our network, partners, and ambassadors moved the needle for food security at the 2026 Louisiana Anto-Hunger Day at the Capitol...

The Kickoff - We started the morning in the Capitol Rotunda, welcoming advocates from across the state, handing out gear, and prepared for a packed day of action.

Voices of Change in the Gardens - We took to the Capitol Gardens for our official Press Conference to share the critical reality of hunger in our state and the policies needed to fix it. A huge thank you to our incredible lineup of speakers:
Martha Marak, CEO of the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana
April Brown, Baton Rouge Community College Pantry Director
Taylor Chapman, BRCC student hunger advocate
Rhonda Jackson, Director of No Kid Hungry Louisiana

Knowledge is Power - Our afternoon was dedicated to deep-dive training sessions. Advocates gathered at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library for Policy 101 and network alignment, while others met inside the Governor's Press Room to prep for legislative meetings.

Taking the Floor - Armed with data, lived experience, and passion, our advocates flooded the Capitol to meet directly with legislators, view committee sessions, and celebrate official resolution recognitions on the floor.

From trainings to the legislative floor, every moment was a step closer to a hunger-free Louisiana. Thank you to everyone who played a part in this unforgettable day! 💪
