They want to create change and affect areas in relation to hunger issues including agriculture, education and health.
The Hungry in America Project is designed around a campaign to create solutions and raise awareness of hunger in America. The project centers its focus on a documentary film titled Hungry in America that aims towards opening the eyes of the public by showing the history and causes of hunger in the country.
As the Executive Producer of Hungry in America, Tom Colicchio joined with the filmmakers of Feed USA to start a campaign to educate and push for pending legislation to end hunger by 2015.
