Craig Newmark Philanthropies (CNP) recently announced a generous $15 million donation to address food insecurity across America. Newmark made the commitment during the first “Leaders Eat Last” virtual panel event, part of a series developed by the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF) to take a deeper look into the systems and solutions surrounding food insecurity and specifically its effect on veterans.
The Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF), in partnership with Craig Newmark Philanthropies, is announcing the launch of Leaders Eat Last, a panel series that will kick off on February 4, 2021 and focus on the complex and growing problem of food insecurity in the military/veteran community. Food insecurity was increasingly prevalent in 2020 as the financial, industrial, and logistical impacts of the pandemic created an increasingly strained environment for veterans, particularly those dealing with other service-related issues.
