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
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 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 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.
