The Pennsylvania Hunger Action Center supports the statewide network of groups and individuals working to end hunger in our Commonwealth. The Center's "tool kit" includes the following resources:

1. Public policy advocates who add a Harrisburg dimension to regional and local efforts to achieve food security for all Pennsylvanians;
   
   
2. Periodic newsletters, legislative alerts, and policy studies containing information to help anti-hunger groups effectively advance food security objectives;
   
   
3. A statewide Food Stamp Screening and Enrollment Line (1-800-634-2033) to help people in need connect to nutritious food;
   
   
4. Practical and up-to-date information for individuals, congregations and community groups that are helping friends and neighbors make the transition from welfare to self-sufficiency;
   
   
5. Seminars, conferences and opportunities to join forces with other antihunger organizations including food banks, advocacy groups, religious and educational institutions.

Established in 1978, the Center is a statewide, nonprofit organization supported financially by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and by private foundations, religious bodies, businesses and individuals.
