In this episode of "10 ideas to make the world less hungry," reporter Ben Muir talks with Ellie Hollander, chief executive officer of Meals on Wheels America. The non-profit organization feeds people through more than 5,000 independent programs across the United States.
The struggle to hamper hunger begins with acknowledging “starvation as a pandemic behind closed doors,” she says. Rather than a new policy or innovation, fixing hunger might mean committing to ideas that already work.
Hollander thinks investing in Meals on Wheels to reach millions of homebound seniors is important.
