Congress and urge them to protect programs that help put food on the
table for millions of hungry Americans. Special thanks to Tyson for supporting the virtual postcards application.

Hunger Champions
“
I am a Hunger Champion because there is simply too much need—especially
when it comes to our nation’s hungry children—and it’s sad to see that
need, and not be able to provide the solution. That’s why my wife and I
have been fighting hunger in our community since 2000. ”
