FEBRUARY 2015

"My experience with hunger is a personal one."

Suzanne Liu, a Googler and one of our board members, experienced poverty and hunger at a young age. Though she's fortunate to receive free meals at work, she still remembers when her family relied on food stamps. We are proud to have her support and humbled by her story — thank you, Suzanne, for sharing it.

Hunger Hurts Kids

We've all felt that uncomfortable feeling you get when you skip a meal. For kids, that feeling can be scary. Sadly, one in three local kids may not be getting enough to eat every day. Stand up for kids and help feed 100,000 children every month.

Food = Medicine?

At our 2015 Hunger Action Summit at Santa Clara University, we looked at the health consequences of hunger and explored ways anti-hunger advocates can work with hospitals and other health providers to ensure that everyone has access to one of the most basic prescriptions for good health: nutritious food.
