The Food Research & Action Center is the leading national nonprofit organization working to eradicate poverty-related hunger and undernutrition in the United States.

They:

  • lead efforts to identify and communicate the connections among poverty, hunger, and obesity among low-income people
  • conduct research to document the extent of hunger, its impact, and effective solutions
  • seek stronger federal, state and local public policies that will reduce hunger, undernutrition, and obesity
  • monitor the implementation of laws and serve as a watchdog of programs
  • provide coordination, training, technical assistance, and support on nutrition and anti-poverty issues to a nationwide network of advocates, service providers, food banks, program administrators and participants, and policymakers
  • conduct public information campaigns to help promote changes in attitude and policies

Selections were made by NAA based on strong advocacy for and support of health and wellness in afterschool. Those selected represent individuals and organizations whose service, action, and leadership align with and support the NAA Healthy Eating and Physical Activity (HEPA) Standards and affect large numbers of youth, families, or afterschool professionals.
