Event Overview
Turning Insight into Action: Supporting Seniors Through Recent Policy Shifts
The Senior Hunger Conference is a one-day, highly participatory gathering designed to strengthen collaboration among the organizations working to reduce senior hunger in the Washington, DC.
The Conference convenes leaders, front-line providers, and community members to:
-
Build new connections and foster trust across the network.
-
Identify overlapping capacities, shared needs, and collaborative opportunities.
-
Generate concrete, actionable outcomes—not just discussion.
Participants will engage in storytelling, structured networking, open space discussions, and collaborative problem-solving. By the end of the day, attendees should leave with new relationships, practical ideas, and a stronger sense of shared purpose.
