MAKE ROOM AT YOUR TABLE
Time|December 09, 2024
Thanksgiving is a time for celebration with our families and communities— but for the millions of Americans who are living with hunger, it can be an intensely difficult reminder of their daily challenges.

MAKE ROOM AT YOUR TABLE

We may be as divided as ever, but we can agree that no one deserves to be hungry. And there's no better time than the holidays for us to commit to working together to end the food-insecurity epidemic.

Many intelligent, well-meaning people have succumbed to the idea that "you're either with us or against us." It has become possible to forget how much we have in common. But no ideology has a monopoly on values. This year, when our politics have served to divide us intensely, we must find a way to unite with a common purpose: to care for one another.

In October 2018, I had the great privilege to join a network of hundreds of food banks and tens of thousands of food pantries and meal programs as the CEO of Feeding America.

Over nearly five years, I've met thousands of people: staff, volunteers, and people facing hunger, each with a powerful story. Not a single person asked about my political affiliations.

Hunger transcends party lines.
