Hunger is a top priority for Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona

Food insecurity now affects almost one in six Arizonans. We invite you to stay up to date with Lutheran Advocacy Ministry Arizona by visiting their site at lamaz.org and subscribing to their weekly newsletter.

Featured on the LAMA site is a priority page on food insecurity and an entire blog category devoted to hunger. Of particular note is the recent Arizona Hunger Policy Retreat, where more than 50 hunger advocates from across the state met at Spirit in the Desert to discuss how we might collaboratively work to alleviate hunger in Arizona.
