The mission

What this organization describes

The premier anti-hunger group in Washington

The Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) is the leading national nonprofit organization working to improve public policies and public-private partnerships to eradicate hunger and undernutrition in the United States. FRAC works with hundreds of national, state and local nonprofit organizations, public agencies, corporations and labor organizations to address hunger, food insecurity, and their root cause, poverty. As Congress Daily has written, FRAC is “the premier anti-hunger group in Washington.” Hunger in the United States is a problem that can be cured. FRAC harnesses the nation's resources on behalf of those who need help to stave off hunger – poor children and their families, seniors, the unemployed, low-income workers, the ill, and homeless persons.
