A Vision for a

Hunger-Free

Louisiana

We work towards a future where every Louisiana household has food to eat, and the resources needed to live a healthy, productive life.  

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
