CHC's team with Garden Resources of Washington: Kathy Swan, Rugayyah Ibraheem, and Kathi Koliba and Richard Meacham.

1997

The CHC proudly fielded 100 hunger fighters in the Mississippi Delta; the state of Vermont; in the cities of Washington, D.C. and Milwaukee, WI; and in dozens of food banks, homeless shelters, and community development agencies. The Leland Fellows continued their second half-year assignments with such policy organizations as the Food Research Action Center, Bread for the World, Share Our Strength and the National Coalition for the Homeless.

With the USDA, Second Harvest, and Foodchain, the CHC also co-sponsors the first National Summit on Food Recovery and Gleaning attracting over 1,000 hunger fighters to find solutions to the 100 billion pounds of safe food that are discarded each year in the U.S.

John Morrill, a Congressional staffer with Hall since the Select Committee on Hunger, succeeds Dewey as the CHC's current Executive Director. Dr. Margaret Zeigler becomes Deputy Director.
