Pam Koner is connecting communities to fight hunger
by Yoni Brook, September 14, 2009
Pam Koner was reading the newspaper one Sunday when she was struck by a photograph. The picture was of a young girl sitting on a mattress eating her only meal of the day. That picture moved her first to tears and then to action.
Driven by the image, Koner came up with an idea to connect families in need with donor families. Today her nonprofit Family-to-Family connects more than 600 sponsor and recipient families in communities across the nation.
