Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Volunteers with the Iowa Oxfam Action Corps work to improve national legislation and deepen local community resources for fighting poverty and injustice. Activities include outreach tables at farmers markets, concerts, and community events, visits to the offices of elected officials, and supporting the work of local community gardens and food banks. 

Oxfam America's current advocacy campaign: GROW, focuses on building a food system that sustainably feeds a growing population and empowers poor people to earn a living, feed their families, and thrive.

How to Help:

Individuals and organizations interested in finding out more or volunteering with the Iowa Oxfam Action Corps should email them directly at iowa@oxfamactioncorps.org, visit their Facebook page or blog for more information, or contact Oxfam America staff.
