In this month’s webinar, the Feeding America’s Research Team shared an overview of the Network MEL Approach and the resources now available on the Learning Hub as well as high-level findings from recent government data releases, how FANO is messaging about need, and how food banks can leverage that messaging at the local level.

Join Feeding America’s Research Team to hear about recent and upcoming food insecurity research releases. Some of the initiatives that will be discussed include Map the Meal Gap, The State of Senior Hunger in America in 2020, the Food Access Measure Framework, and Charitable Food Assistance Participation.

Webinar Training

On Wednesday, Sept. 8, the USDA will release its annual report that will describe the extent of food insecurity in the U.S., for the first calendar year of the Covid-19 pandemic. Feeding America anticipates that the report may show an overall food insecurity level for 2020 that will be lower than some may expect - comparable to or even lower than in 2019. While anything other than a steep increase in food insecurity in 2020 may seem counterintuitive, both the federal and charitable response to the crisis in 2020 was unprecedented, so this would suggest that the massive public/private partnership to meet the emerging food crisis has been working. To help convey the scope of the charitable sector’s contributions, Feeding America has generated a national estimate of the number of individuals who received charitable food assistance in 2020, and will begin sharing this estimate beginning Wednesday, September 1.

Webinar Training

In this month’s webinar, the Feeding America’s Research Team shared updates on some research and evaluation initiatives. We heard about recent and planned update to the Feeding America Client Survey (FACS) and the Network Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) approach, an update on the timing and key deliverables for this year's Map the Meal Gap release or local food insecurity and related estimates for 2020 (including where to find what and when), and additional information on recent and upcoming releases from the Research Team.

Webinar Training

Starting late in 2019 (with disruption due to the pandemic), Feeding America’s Research: Access, Equity & Opportunity; and Strategic Planning teams partnered with the Urban Institute to assess existing measures and help facilitate gathering and synthesizing food bank and neighbor input as part of the development of a Food Access M​measurement Framework. The goal of this framework is to provide food banks with a consistent approach to measuring charitable food access in their communities and to provide the high-level outcome measures for the FEED pillar of the FA Outcome Measurement Framework. Please join Feeding America and the Urban Institute for an overview of our progress on this work, including the three key dimensions of charitable food access and measurement approaches (phase 1 of this work which concludes in Sept 2021), as well as plans for developing tools that can support the network in applying these measures (phase 2 of this work which kicks off in Sept 2021).

Anti-Hunger Policy Conference 2023:

This session will highlight the replicability of the Roundtable’s model, and share learnings for how frontline anti-hunger organizations in other communities might band together for similar goals. The Roundtable’s mission - to collaborate to bring more resources to communities, so none of our neighbors go hungry - is built on the conviction that collaboration is key to achieving the greatest impact in fighting hunger.
