Foodshare Institute For Hunger Research & Solutions

The Institute serves as a resource for the charitable food system by:

Developing programs and interventions to decrease food insecurity and promote health and stability
Conducting research to measure the effectiveness of these programs
Sharing best practices and evidence-based solutions so others can implement them
Collaborating with multiple partners to advocate for systems change within the charitable food network

The Institute develops innovative and evidence-based programs that promote health and long-term solutions to hunger. We research different approaches to identify what works. We provide trainings and services so that others can implement best practices within the charitable food network.

We are pleased to work with food banks and community partners on a consulting basis, and we have flexible fee structures based on the type of trainings and programming you are interested in. We can work with you to develop a consulting plan and budget to meet your needs.
