Description
"John van Hengel started the world's first food bank in 1967 and went on to create a network of food banks through Feeding America.

Gottesfeld's warm text and Agatha's lively art shows that there's no shame in being hungry - the shame lies in how long it took for someone to figure out how to feed people! All it took was one person with a good idea to change things"--
