    Over 40 million people experience hunger in our country  every day .  That includes over 13 million children. For me, hunger is a political condition. We have the food. We have the resources. We have the infrastructure. We know what it takes. We have everything we need to end hunger now – everything except the political will. It's our moral obligation to eliminate hunger in the U.S. That means we need leaders who are willing work together to #EndHungerNow. Chip in $3 to help us hit our fundraising goal for May.
