Baylor University Hunger Free Communities Corps- VISTA
4.3 million Texans are food insecure. Individuals and organizations across the state are working tirelessly to change this but don't have the time or resources to work together strategically. Hunger is a complex problem that cannot be solved by one single individual or organization, but coordination and collaboration takes time and effort and can be difficult, especially with limited resources. The Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty (BCHP) provides the expertise and support to foster collaboration. We convene, train, inform and support communities to assess local hunger, and evaluate barriers to food security, in order to become a Hunger Free Community. BCHP's mission is to help communities think strategically, organizations work collaboratively, and programs function efficiently. Because when we all come together, we create solutions that are greater than the sum of their parts.
