The DR. PHIL Show is partnering with Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization, to highlight the growing hunger epidemic in our nation and raise funds needed to supply 10 million meals.
Today's launch of this partnership coincides with a special episode of DR. PHIL, spotlighting hunger in America and featuring an interview with Feeding America's president and CEO, Vicki Escarra.
"We are extremely grateful to have such a trusted person like Dr. Phil to lend his voice to fight the growing hunger crisis" said Vicki Escarra."Every dollar or can of food counts, and we thank him for encouraging the country to contribute."
"I am announcing a call to action," said Dr. Phil."To my viewers and especially those who have stuck with me throughout my 10 seasons on the DR. PHIL show, to help me along with Feeding America to achieve 10 million meals."
"We are thrilled that Dr. Phil is committed to fighting hunger on a national basis," stated Michael Flood, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, "We have partnered with the Dr. Phil Show for several years locally and appreciate this support."
