Advocates are urging Washington residents to contact their legislators to support HB 2238, a bill aimed at creating a statewide strategy to end hunger. The bill has passed out of committee and is moving to the House floor for a full vote. HB 2238 directs the Washington State Department of Agriculture to collaborate with food security partners to develop a coordinated plan to combat hunger. This initiative is crucial as it promotes collaboration among partners, enhances alignment among state agencies, and focuses resources effectively to address food insecurity. Community members can easily participate by sending a pre-written message to their legislators, asking them to vote in favor of the bill. Supporters emphasize that constituent voices are vital at this stage to ensure the bill’s progress.
