Mission statement

Rachel Cahill Consulting, LLC exists to support the many mission-driven organizations who are fighting every day to end hunger and poverty in the United States. In the near term, we are focused on making our nation’s most important anti-hunger program, SNAP, the most effective, accessible, and equitable program it can be in every community. In the long term, we are committed to helping build political will for a society and economy without food insecurity, so we no longer need programs like SNAP to supplement low wages and ensure every human being has enough nutritious food for an active and healthy life.
