When I was first introduced to Noel Cunningham in 1987 by Pat Miller (The Gabby Gourmet), Share Our Strength was still a young and little known organization. Noel had never heard of it or the Shores but took the word of his dear friend Pat when she told him he should meet with us and learn about our work fighting hunger. Almost immediately, he decided that Share Our Strength was going to be his mission and he gave unprecedented amounts of time and talent to the cause, eventually becoming an active member of our national board of directors. But he gave much more than that: He gave his passion, and the need to express it everywhere -- all the time and to anyone who would listen -- would come to define him.

I'm just back from the National Restaurant Show where I met with the marketing executives and CEOs of restaurant companies to discuss how their restaurants and thousands of others in the fine dining, casual and quick service industry can raise millions of dollars to end child hunger. As always, I'm amazed at how generous the restaurant industry is.
