Welcome to the Kentucky Hunger Dialogue!  We are excited that you are interested in taking action against hunger in our beautiful state.  The Hunger Dialogue is part of the Universities Fighting World Hunger (UFWH) and Presidents United to Solve Hunger (PUSH) initiatives.

Each year, EngageKY partners with an in-state university to host an event called the Kentucky Hunger Dialogue, which convenes non-profit organizations, educators, students, and community members to merge ideas and expertise about alleviating food insecurity in a state where 700,000 people go hungry. The Hunger Dialogue pairs information about what sustainable and replicable local tactics are working in the fight against food insecurity, with space to collaborate and innovate new solutions.

Participants will learn:

• the ways people from various identities and socio-economic statuses face food insecurity, and why. 
• sustainable and replicable local tactics that are working to give ideas about what to do on campus and in the surrounding communities. 
• about who makes decisions at varying levels about food access and how to add your voice to the conversation.
• and talk with others to think about collaborations and innovative new solutions.

Participants will leave the conference with an adaptable collection of programs, methods, or practices for engaging in food security work at their own colleges and communities, along with a useful network of resources.
