The Hill - Millions of Americans were already facing food insecurity. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit.

In a recent opinion piece in The Hill, Nate Mook (CEO of World Central Kitchen) and Lorelei Williams (SVP of Grant Programs of Comic Relief US) lead the way for causes like On The Line:

“It’s critical to understand that food can be a key part of the solution to our overlapping crises — in this pandemic, recession, and when our communities are confronting racial injustice. We can feed our vulnerable communities by activating the restaurants that are struggling to survive: paying cooks to feed the hungry and to heal the neighborhoods they serve. We can continue to fund and expand feeding programs and support our farmers while addressing malnutrition and hunger among children.

The scale of the crises we face today demands more than philanthropy. We urgently need the support of our elected leaders, of business executives, and donors big and small, if we want to build back better. And we must do it now, for the millions of children whose lives are in our hands.”
