Fighting Hunger on the World Stage

No Kid Hungry’s Clay Dunn joined with actor Hugh Jackman to put childhood hunger center stage at this year’s Global Citizen Festival in New York City. The festival, part of a worldwide movement to end extreme poverty, drew tens of thousands to hear from world leaders and celebrities -- and it aired live on MSNBC.

Jackman and Dunn used the occasion to announce a new pledge from No Kid Hungry corporate partner Citi. The financial services firm used the occasion to announce a commitment to connect hungry kids with 50 million more meals by the end of 2020.
