Bighorn Charities Director Kelly Levy received the individual Hunger Hero award, and Palm Springs Life Magazine received the community Hunger Hero award.

FIND Food Bank writes: "Your donation helps ensure that children, families, and seniors at risk of food insecurity know where their next meal is coming from. Give to ensure that children and their loved ones don't have to chose between nourishing food, rent payments, lifesaving medicine, childcare, and essential utilities this summer and year-round."
