“Venture philanthropy, challenge prizes, and corporate social responsibility are just part of the exciting proliferation of efforts aimed at improving society today,” comments HUNGRY creator Kevin Mark Lodie. “Ideas, funding and action aren’t just coming from the usual suspects, but from entrepreneurs, civic-minded companies and everyday citizens in ‘the crowd’.”
“Our success depends on both dollars and deeds,” says Daryl Twerdahl, Executive Director of St. Vincent Meals on Wheels Foundation, the presenter of the HUNGRY series. “Foundation grants and donations from forty thousand supporters allow us to prepare and deliver one million meals per year. But it’s our family of volunteers that puts our mission into action and allows us to provide a personalized experience that emphasizes care and human contact.” Twerdahl adds, “Our goal for HUNGRY is to inspire new partners, companies and individuals to engage with the community through our mission.”
HUNGRY, an ideas exchange exploring issues of philanthropy, humanitarian work and social impact, is presented by the St. Vincent Meals on Wheels Foundation and made possible by the support of The Gas Company, a Sempra Energy utility.

#HUNGRYtalks #stvmow
Founded in 1977, St. Vincent Meals on Wheels (STVMOW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving approximately 4,000 meals a day, making it the largest privately-funded organization of its kind nationwide. Annually, over 1 million meals are prepared and delivered to homebound senior citizens, disabled and terminally ill patients, and homeless adults and children. STVMOW additionally services programs administered by Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, Salvation Army, adjacent Meals on Wheels programs and other social service agencies. Partnerships with LA Kitchen, Lanterman Regional Center, and a family of 275 volunteers make our mission possible and enable us to further engage and build surrounding communities. A recent study by The Center for Effective Government demonstrates that every dollar invested in Meals on Wheels saves Medicare $50. STVMOW is committed to keeping in step with the growing needs of seniors, whose population is expected to triple in LA County by 2030. http://www.stvmow.org
