Symposium on Hunger-Day One

The coalition strives to build a community where all people have the food they need to lead healthy lives. The Coalition connects people with food assistance programs and nutrition education; provides resources to a network of food pantries; and educates the public and policymakers about responsible solutions that prevent people from going hungry. 

Melody is a widely respected senior leader with over fifteen years experience within the non-profit and philanthropic sectors especially in the areas of hunger, homeless and income disparity. Her most recent working experience has been as a lead adviser for Five Spires, an advisory practice, the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation as its executive director and the Lancaster County Community Foundation as vice president of programs and initiatives.
