Hunger Action Ambassadors
Community Voices Leading Change
Hunger Action Ambassadors is a statewide cohort of trusted community voices—neighbors with lived experience of food insecurity—who help design programs and policies that work in the real world. Ambassadors elevate local insight from every parish so solutions reflect community realities and needs.
How Ambassadors Lead Change
Ambassadors share experience to strengthen SNAP, CSFP, WIC, TEFAP, and mobile market services; advise food banks through listening sessions and program feedback; and carry stories and data into the Capitol and local briefings during the 2026 legislative session. They engage media, speak at community events, and connect farmers, pantries, health partners, and civic leaders to build resilient local food systems.
We welcome neighbors with lived experience, pantry volunteers, community leaders, and LFPA-connected or small-scale farmers, with a focus on rural parishes and bilingual communities. Ambassadors receive training in advocacy, public speaking, and media readiness, along with orientation to Louisiana anti-hunger programs and ongoing staff support.
This initiative centers dignity and equity. When people most affected by hunger shape the response, policies translate into meals, health, and measurable impact.
