Steve Blumenthal

"Learning that the human family is my family began when, as a high school teacher, I discovered The Hunger Project in the early 1980s. Thus began a journey that led to my joining the staff of THP, visiting our partners in Africa, South Asia and Latin America, and seeing firsthand the effectiveness of THP's approach -- unleashing the human spirit and empowering people to be change agents for their own destiny. For 38 years, THP has enriched my life. Investing in a sustainable world, one in which women are empowered to lead, enables me, in a modest way, to act upon the gratitude that I feel for the meaning that THP has infused into my life. I gain immeasurably, and that often makes giving and receiving indistinguishable. Joining THP's Legacy Circle feels like a natural extension of my vision to ensure a future free from hunger."
