Rancho Cordova's Mayor, Siri Pulipati, has taken a stand in the nationwide battle against childhood hunger by joining the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger, a collective of local leaders working to eliminate this issue in cities across the country. Mayor Pulipati believes in the alliance's vision, stating, "No child should grow up hungry. Joining the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger is a commitment to ensuring every child in our community has access to nutritious meals so they can learn, grow, and thrive," a sentiment aimed at tackling the alarming number of over 13 million children in the US living in food-insecure households, as per City of Rancho Cordova.

To inspire community action, the Mayor's involvement invites Rancho Cordova locals to be a part of the solution against childhood hunger, where volunteering or donating to the Rancho Cordova Food Locker is seen as a direct route to making a difference, and reducing food waste at home alongside spreading awareness within the community are tangible steps everyone can take, to not just know the problem but be the solution and for those who want to dive deeper into the alliance's efforts, the official website mayorshungeralliance.org serves as a resource hub.

The City of Rancho Cordova emphasizes that the hunger challenge goes beyond providing meals. It highlights the importance of healthy nutrition for children's cognitive development and overall well-being.
