I was first introduced to the non-profit, Stop Hunger Now, as a GSK PULSE skills-based volunteer for 6 months in 2014. I have continued to offer my skills as a part time volunteer to continue managing program development projects and build positive, sustainable change. My projects focus on process improvements within the warehouses, raw material ordering process, forecasting, meal packaging events thus enabling Stop Hunger Now to feed more people.Stop Hunger is an international hunger relief organization whose mission is to end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and life-saving aid to the world's most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources. www.stophungernow.org
