What's "Moo" at the Clearinghouse

What's "Moo" at the Clearinghouse is the monthly fax newsletter sent free to members of the National Hunger Clearinghouse database. It's packed with timely information on diverse and pertinent topics ranging from upcoming conferences and professional development opportunities to pending Federal legislation. What's "Moo" is designed to keep even the busiest service provider or food advocate abreast of the changes in the movement to end hunger and poverty in America.
