💨 Abstract

WhyHunger, founded in 1975 by singer-songwriter Harry Chapin and radio DJ Bill Ayres, marks 50 years of combating hunger, reflecting the ongoing global need for food assistance. Despite aiming to eradicate hunger, the nonprofit's relevance persists due to systemic issues like inflation and poor wages, with over 47 million people in the U.S. alone living in food-insecure households in 2023.
