CHC hosts the annual Congressional Awards Ceremony at the U.S. Botanic Garden on Capitol Hill. We celebrate accomplishments, honor exemplary leaders, and recognize our partners in the fight to end hunger.
On a bi-partisan basis we present Senators and Representatives with the Bill Emerson & Mickey Leland Hunger Leadership Awards for significant contributions in making hunger and poverty a focal point in the U.S. Congress.
We also recognize Emerson and Leland fellowship alumni at the event. Outstanding alumni leaders from the Bill Emerson and Mickey Leland Fellowship programs are presented with CHC Alumni Leadership Awards for their continued dedication to promote food security in the U.S. and around the world.
