Hunger 101 - An introduction to hunger and poverty

Developed by the Atlanta Community Food Bank, this group of classes with interactive activities comes as a prepared kit.  Tarrant Area Food Bank can lend the Hunger 101 kit, free of charge, to use with young children, adolescents or adults. The classes and their interactive activities focus on identifying populations at risk for hunger, the causes and effects of hunger and strategies to address hunger.

The most popular component of the program, the Community Food Game, is an interactive role-playing experience that explores food insecurity and hunger in the United States. Appropriate for groups of 15 to 50, the Food Game has participants take on the roles of consumers or of staff running community organizations, markets, or social service agencies. A minimum of 1.5 hours is needed to include activity and discussion.

All of these materials are free for you to use and adapt to your community.  Workshops led by Tarrant Area Food Bank staff are available on a limited basis.
