Feeding America is proud to partner with the Ad Council to raise awareness of domestic hunger. Our "1 in 8" PSA campaign began in November 2008, and is running on television, radio, in print and online. Based on statistics from the United States Department of Agriculture, we know that one in eight Americans struggles with hunger each year.
Thanks to acclaimed director Tony Kaye who filmed the "1 in 8" commercials and to Tom Waits for allowing us to use his song "Never Let Go.” The PSAs mark the first time Waits has authorized his music to be used by any organization in a commercial. "We all need to be reminded,” Waits said, “that the folks who need help getting back on their feet are all members of our family."
