    Feeding America Donor Impact Report SPRING 2015 FEED AND LEAD THE NATION TO END HUNGER IN AMERICA As a regular volunteer at local food pantries, I am continually inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication that my fellow volunteers show when they come together to feed their communities. April is National Volunteer Month, reminding us that even a small ofering of time and talent can change a life and that opportunities to engage are everywhere, even in our own backyard. Within the Feeding America network, we celebrate volunteers every day. Quite simply, our work can only be accomplished with the help that volunteers provide. We are grateful to the more than 2 million individuals who turn the ordinary tasks of sorting food, stocking shelves and packing boxes into the extraordinary work of helping to feed 46 million Americans struggling with hunger. In the following pages you’ll meet Claudia and her daughters who receive help at their local food pantry and give back by volunteering. In addition, you’ll read how our partners’ employees generously support local food banks and pantries and the ways your advocacy support is afecting change in Washington. As I shared earlier this year, I will be passing the torch to a new CEO of Feeding America. In the meantime, I am working to make sure that I leave this organization stronger and better equipped to end hunger in our time. I believe that the impact we have on our communities has never been greater. This is true because of the devoted people inside our organization, on our board, at food banks and agencies, in addition to partners, donors and supporters like you.
