Clearinghouse Review

The need for food is as basic and universal as it gets. How can we make progress in fighting poverty when people are hungry? Why should anyone be hungry in this country? This special issue of Clearinghouse Review offers many ideas for solving the multitude of hunger-related obstacles faced by our clients. Topics include SNAP application delays, older adult hunger, SNAP recertification, strengthening the food system, and more.

The Shriver Center acknowledges with thanks the AARP Foundation and the Francis Beidler Foundation for their generous support in publishing this special issue of Clearinghouse Review.
