TURNING HUNGER INTO HOPE

---

Chef David Scott is the founder of 86 Hunger Now, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding the “forgotten”—hardworking individuals and families who often fall through the cracks of traditional assistance programs. Growing up in Youngstown, Ohio, Scott experienced food insecurity firsthand, learning to cook out of necessity rather than passion. His resilience and determination carried him into a successful career as an executive chef, running high-end kitchens with skill and confidence.

Despite his professional achievements, Scott felt called to a higher purpose: using his culinary expertise to serve the working poor. In Wilmington, North Carolina, he launched 86 Hunger Now to provide nutritious, chef-quality meals, grocery assistance, and education on cooking affordable, healthy food. His mission is clear: no one should have to choose between paying their bills and feeding their family.
