“Hunger is a very real, chronic condition in our state,” Ellen Parker, executive director of Project Bread, said in a statement announcing the distribution of funds.
“There is no typical hungry person. And we know that it takes more than one solution to solve a problem as complex, and yet as personal, as hunger. Each of the organizations we funded provides a critical role in helping to solve hunger in the community.”
