 Hunger affects close to one billion people around the world, and it hurts children the most. But we can change that - together. Over the next two months, 80 communities in Illinois will join together with more than 1,000 communities in the U.S. to help end hunger. This means support for local food banks and soup kitchens, as well as long-term, sustainable solutions for families all around the world.
