NO ONE should ever be living in hunger or thirst.

Soo good of you. I agree! No hungry or thirst!

Oh yeah. Chef José Andrés of World Central Kitchen. His charity name escaped me, thinking it might be this Forbes #1. Seems should be, eh?

I think I heard that Chef José Andrés was at the horrible "train site" even before I heard that authorities were there!! That is ONE AMAZING MAN, along with his incredible workers!!

The rankings are by size, not some sort of "worthiness" ranking.

@Greeneyedlady21 Sorry, but I thought he was still in Turkey. But I'll delete it.

You didn't introduce Ohio into this topic.

I wonder if anyone who wants to constantly criticize/introduce politics into every discussion here (and trying to sneak in previously closed topics) is renting a UHaul and loading it with food and water and going to Ohio to help.

Thankfully people and organizations like Feeding America and WKC see human beings and help them, they don't have time to be keyboard warriors exploiting human tragedy for personal agendas.

@jonbon

Cld "growth is size" of served ppl, and/or "growh in more locales that serve even more ppl in need, more facilities, , be considered a Forbes "#1 success?"

Do you happen to have a "reference" you can offer, for your comment above (I highlighted in red)?

Thanks @jonbon

The rankings are based on private donations. Is that what you mean by size?
