Foundation
Center

“ In the past few years — at a time of unparalleled prosperity in America — the country has seen double-digit increases in the number of people seeking emergency food supplies from food banks. We are most concerned about older Americans and about children, who cannot succeed in school if they are hungry. Our grant will enable America's Second Harvest to supply more food to meet this increased need.”
— Florence A. Davis, president of the Starr Foundation, whose $2.6 million grant to America's Second Harvest began with a visit to the hunger organization's Web site.
