Lutheran Hunger Summit - May 17

This year's event will focus on hunger in Pennsylvania and feature keynote speaker David Beckman, President of Bread for the World.

Registration will open March 1.
 

The adultBasic program currently provides benefits to more than 40,000 low-income, working Pennsylvanians.   These individuals will lose their insurance and access to quality health care at the end of February if a new funding source is not implemented. The LAMPa Director moderated a press conference in the Capitol Rotunda on January 24 in support of continuing the program. View clips of legislators commenting on the issue.
