A Vision for a

Hunger-Free

Louisiana

Our network’s vision is A LOUISIANA WHERE NO ONE IS HUNGRY. The Feeding Louisiana network will collaborate like never before with neighbors facing hunger and other partners to tackle ending hunger from all angles so everyone can thrive.

When our communities have food security – it creates a pathway out of poverty and enables the opportunity for growth and societal success.

We strive to provide every Louisiana household with the basic necessity of food – giving each person the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
— Pat R. Van Burkleo, Feeding Louisiana Executive Director
