Executive Director

Rev. Kenneth C. Horne, Jr.

People who live in poverty are constantly at risk of hunger. Those who live in a constant state of hunger find it difficult, if not impossible, to pull themselves out of poverty. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle.

Rev. Ken Horne, Executive Director of the Society of St. Andrew, understands this debilitating dynamic. For the past quarter century he has been working to feed the hungry people of America and to help put them on an equal footing with their fellow citizens.

Ken’s vision is that of a world without hunger. “Mercy and justice. Feeding the hungry and providing them a fighting chance to escape poverty. This is what Jesus calls his followers to do,” says Horne. “Things ought to be better. Over twenty-seven years ago I found myself called to help find a way to make them better.” That was the start of the Society of St. Andrew, today a national Christian, ecumenical hunger-relief ministry salvaging fresh food that will go to waste, and using it instead to feed hungry people.

As an authority on the issue of hunger, from both the mercy side and the justice side, Ken Horne has a track record of service, success, and speaking out on behalf of the poor and hungry. He is a knowledgeable source and resource with vast experience as a keynote speaker, has been a guest on numerous TV and radio talk shows, and for many years has been doing a weekly local radio talk program. He is available for interviews, expert commentary and reaction on issues dealing with this national problem.
