Daily Bread Food Bank's mission is to collaborate with all to end food insecurity and advocate for solutions to end poverty. In addition to distributing food, we conduct research to understand who is experiencing food insecurity and the root causes. We use this research to inform policy recommendations to reduce poverty and food insecurity. We share these policy recommendations with elected officials from all parties to promote action to reduce poverty and food insecurity.
