SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT HUNGER!

When one person speaks out against hunger, an interesting thing happens… That one person tells a few friends, and they tell a few more, and soon it spreads through a neighborhood, a town, and eventually a nation. And it all starts with just one voice.

Spread the word!
