“This is a masterful summary to help Oregon physicians understand and address food insecurity that is threatening the well-being of mothers and children in their care.” (Deborah Frank, M.D., professor of pediatrics at Boston University School of Medical and founder of the Children’s Sentinel Nutrition Assessment Program)

“The Childhood Food Insecurity Course is an enormously important step forward in laying a foundation for policymakers, advocates and others to deal with the facts surrounding hunger and food insecurity rather than the myths.  The class will raise the level of discourse and result in private and public programs that are more accountable, more transparent and more effective in serving families and children in need.” (Billy Shore, Co-founder of Share Our Strength)
