Hunger 101
Hunger 101 is an educational program for elementary, middle-school, and high-school students involving role-playing and discussions that increase awareness of hunger in the community. Students learn about the issues that create and perpetuate food insecurity in Vermont in a sensitive, engaging manner. The Foodbank believes that knowledge is our greatest tool in the fight against hunger and poverty.
The Vermont Foodbank can promote hunger awareness in your school by:
- Supplying schools with Hunger Education Toolkits
- Offering tours of the Foodbank for student field trips
- Providing a guest speaker for school assemblies, food drive kick-offs, and other special events
- Working with your school to provide facts and information about hunger and poverty
To learn more about the program and for more information on placing an order for a Hunger Education Toolkit, contact Youth Programs Manager Jen Hutchinson at 802-477-4126 or jhutchinson@secondharvest.org.
