A note from Ross Fraser ’78:

I am a graduate of IWU (’78) and in my 11th year working as the director of media relations for Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger relief organization.  

We are the network of most of the food banks in the country. We distribute food to about 60,000 soup kitchens and food pantries across the nation.

We feed more than 5 million people each week and will distribute more than 4 billion pounds of food this year.

Forbes Magazine rates us as the 3rd largest charity in the U.S.

But I am not the only IWU graduate here. Sam Harris (2010) works with the food industry to help us get donations of food, and Tim Sunzeris (2011) is a senior budget analyst in our philanthropy department.

Please join me in congratulating Sam in supporting Ross and the Feeding America organization.
