The Center for Hunger-Free Communities, established in 2004, is a community-led research and advocacy center of Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health in Philadelphia. 

We are committed to freedom and justice through actively challenging all forms of oppression, exclusion, and discrimination - including but not limited to racism, classism, sexism, transphobia/homophobia, and ableism - in the world, our communities, and ourselves. 

Mission

The mission of the Center for Hunger-Free Communities is to:

Cultivate community spaces that collectively promote healing and advance economic justice

We achieve this through:

• Partnering with people who are most affected by trauma and oppression to advocate for policy change
• Challenging today’s political, social, and economic systems with peer support and radical real-life education
• Building generational wealth and expanding access to resources
• Welcoming vulnerability and sharing joy to build community power

Vision

Guided by our mission and shared values, our ultimate vision is for our work to lead to:

A healthier and more compassionate world where individuals and communities have access to the resources to thrive
