This organization is truly rooted in to many communities around the world. The dedicated staff truly cares about it's mission. WHY is a credible organization that I have been involved with since 1980. Very innovative and dedicated to serving those in need. Raising money through Hungerthon or promoting good work with the WHY Harry Chapin Media Awards - Great work by WHY! I trust that WHY will always do the right thing and that is why I dedicate my time to them.

I first got involved with WHY as a member of the review committee for the Harry Chapin Hunger and Media Awards. I was honored when this unique organization asked me to join its board of directors, and since becoming a member 4 years ago, I have grown ever more impressed with its commitment and performance.
The Great!

The up to date information and resources provided by its Food Security Learning Center. It is great to have such a well maintained resource to which I can refer students who develop an interest in creative solutions to hunger and poverty

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
watching it develop and improve it performance. WHY has always had its heart in the right place, but under the leadership of its current staff, I've watched its head catch up with its heart. It could serve as a case study in "continuous improvement."
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Extraordinarily dedicated, generous, talented and creative!
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Dramatically expand its capacity to empower local grassroots organizations to address the fundamental causes of hunger and poverty, and increase its impact on public policy through outreach and education (and rent office space adequate to these tasks).

Volunteer since 1984 + Board Member since 1987 WHY is the leading organization creating & utilizin vital links to grassroot organizations and various governmental and private programs, in an effort to eliminate hunger and poverty using substantive networking and programatic work.
The Great!

my observations of success of the Nationwide Food and Hunger Hotline, admistered by WHY and programs like the Harry Chapin Media Awards, rewarding journalists that highligt hunger and poverty, and provide media attention to the challenges worldwide
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

WHY helps humanity.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
dedicated, honest, and willing to do whatever it takes to assist in reaching the goals of the organizations.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Expand it's reach 5 fold in all of the programs
Ways to make it better...
the organization had additional funding to expand the reach of many successful programs, and replicate their work to organizations currently outside their reach, stictly for lack of adequate financial and human resources.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Obtaining adequate financial resourses to fuel the expansion of the programs and increase the level of support that WHY provides to the grassroot organizations, and to expand the Food and Hunger Hotline, with resources including technology & office space.
One thing I'd also say is that...
The organization utilizes austere management expenses, and low overhead to deliver a premium product that utilizes 35 years of very useful experience.

I am so proud to be associated with WhyHunger. It has been part of my life for as long as I can remember and I have seen it grow (but not too fast) and evolve (quite organically) into a dynamic, innovative, collaborative leader in the hunger-fighting/food justice community.
