Project Hunger's History
The idea for Project Hunger, Inc., was started in 1990 with a few concerned citizens wanting to address the continuous shortage of food supplies at the Grand Island, Nebraska Community Food Pantry.
In 1991, a panel of board members were selected, and they began to organize annual events to help raise money and conducted numerous food drives.
To date, more than a half million dollars have been raised to help feed the hungry in our community.
Project Hunger currently consists of 23 board members with no paid staff. 97% of money received stays in our local community to help fight hunger.
Project Hunger, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation.
