Our Food Systems
Must Change
WhyHunger supports communities in taking control of their own food systems and ending hunger. We fund, connect, and resource grassroots organizations around the globe to protect the human right to food and equip people to nourish themselves. Since day one, co-founder Harry Chapin and WhyHunger have mobilized artists and fans to raise funds and spark action. Using music to inspire and unite, we ensure every plate is full and every voice is heard.
