“I was introduced to Feeding America through my work on the Biggest Loser and was immediately moved by the great work the charity does. As a chef, food has always been the center of my world and the Feeding America network strives to ensure that people have access to food and the means to enjoy a meal. I am honored to be a part of the movement to help provide food assistance across America”.
