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 emeritus of the Society of St. Andrew, understands this debilitating dynamic. For more than 30 years, he has worked 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 thirty 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 otherwise 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 did a weekly local radio talk program. He is available for interviews, expert commentary, and reaction on issues dealing with this national problem.
