About Us

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 35 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.
