“Being a part of the Tackle Hunger Ambassador program has helped me broaden my perspective regarding hunger issues across the globe. Through each opportunity, project, and webinar meeting, I have been able to share my thoughts and work as a collective with my peers to fight food insecurity, thus making a lasting impact on the communities around us”.
