Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson and the Dallas Coalition for Hunger Solutions invite you to be our guest for the 2021 Dallas Hunger Summit. The focus is on our "Top 10 Hunger Solutions" for creating equitable, thriving communities. Speakers from across multiple community sectors will discuss a holistic view of how to solve hungerand impact community health in an all-inclusive way. Applying an equity lens, they will discuss how to create a more food secure and just food environment for everyone.
