“WhyHunger is proud of our life-long friend Rich Garon on his newest endeavor as an author. We first got to know Rich when he served on the staff of former Congressman Ben Gilman (R-NY) during the efforts to create the Presidential Commission on World Hunger set up by President Jimmy Carter. Our relationship with him grew when he became chief-of-staff to Mr. Gilman, who at the time was a WhyHunger board member. Rich’s passion for fighting hunger and poverty goes beyond his professional life. It is a deeply personal commitment to help people in need.” Noreen Springstead, WhyHunger, Executive Director
