We Salute Our Hunger Heroes 

The thing about true heroes? They don’t consider themselves heroes. Each day men and women like you selflessly serve and nourish students with no expectation of reward or recognition. We developed Hunger Heroes to recognize these unsung foodservice professionals and share their inspiring stories with others. 

Read about our past winners, and if you know someone deserving of this recognition, nominate them as one of our future Tyson K-12 Hunger Heroes. The honor comes with prizes and a $5,000 grant for your school nutrition program.

Be the first to know about next year’s Hunger Heroes program by signing up for our newsletter.

Congratulations to All Our 2025 Winners
