Hunger Fellows met for weekly training during their six-month policy segment.

1996

With Leland and Beyond Food graduates already gaining career positions to fight hunger and poverty, the CHC began negotiations with the Corporation for National Service that further increased the number of hunger fighters in training to forty.

Faced with the resource challenges encountered by most non-profits, especially those with challenge grants, the CHC began to hold Capital Hill fund raisers. Grants that enabled the CHC to strengthen and expand its hunger leadership mission were received from the UPS, General Motors, C.S.Mott, Otto Bremer, and Soros Foundations as well as the Presbyterian Hunger Program, Share Our Strength, and Philip Morris Companies Inc.
