The Western Region Anti-Hunger Consortium has made child nutrition and the Supplemental Assistance Program (SNAP) its top priorities, with the goals of influencing the national debate in favor of needed improvements to the programs, and educating concerned community members in its ten-state area about the importance of federal and state program changes.
WRAHC was founded in 1992 to strengthen anti-hunger advocacy in the western states, to foster collaborative work on regional issues, and to provide a united voice on federal issues affecting the region. Current membership includes organizations from ten western states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
Over the years, WRAHC has implemented successful joint outreach campaigns for the Summer Food Service and SNAP, produced joint policy papers, coordinated responses to federal legislation and regulations, and initiated regional media campaigns.
