COOL HAND FRANK spotlights purpose-driven organizations working to make this world healthier, happier, and better.

It’s been a few months since we spotlighted a nonprofit focused on ending hunger in the United States. With the holidays approaching—a season when eating is ritual—it makes good sense to focus on another nonprofit we greatly admire.

Feeding America, founded in 1979, keeps its mission simple: “Ending Hunger for Everyone, Everywhere.” According to their 2024 Annual Report, more than 47 million people in the United States face food insecurity. To minimize this threat, the nonprofit distributed nearly six billion nutritious meals through free food programs and a nationwide network of food banks. But Feeding America is not only about feeding; they also work to improve food access, partner with food companies and farmers for food rescue, support disaster response, and advance hunger research. Their positive impact on U.S. communities is profound.

We encourage you to check out Feeding America. If their mission resonates with you, consider volunteering or donating. At the very least, spread the word.
