Hunger Network in Ohio

In order to make information about hunger-related issues more readily available, the Hunger Network in Ohio recent initiated an Electronic Public Policy Network. It is designed to be in touch with interested persons as soon as public policies are introduced and prime opportunities are available to influence legislators. It also offers background information and reference to parallel efforts of other organizations as well as invites comments, questions, and interaction.

Because of increasing restrictions on this way of communicating these days, we need to be sure that you want to receive our messages and we need a request directly from you. So please, email us immediately at info@hungernetohio.org if you are interested in becoming part of "HungerNetOhio."
