No Child Should Go Hungry: Billy Shore on Building Something Bigger Than Yourself

Billy Shore, founder and executive chair of Share Our Strength, joins Hospitality Hangout live from the Prosper Forum for a conversation about building the No Kid Hungry movement, bringing the restaurant industry together and what it means to spend a lifetime working on a problem bigger than yourself.

Billy and his sister Debbie founded Share Our Strength in 1984 with a $2,000 credit card advance. More than four decades later, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign has raised more than $1 billion to fight hunger and poverty and built partnerships across restaurants, business, government, education, health care and entertainment.

But Billy says the real work is not simply raising money. It is getting more people to believe they can make a difference.

He explains why the restaurant industry has been part of Share Our Strength from the beginning. Chefs and restaurateurs already spend their lives feeding people, and Billy believes those skills, relationships and platforms can become powerful tools in the fight against childhood hunger.
