About Reverend Arthur Simon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Simon

Arthur Simon (born 1930 in Eugene, Oregon) is founder and president emeritus of Bread for the World, a citizens' lobby on hunger, which he served for almost two decades.

From Wikipedia - "Bread for the world":

In October 1972, a small group of Catholics and Protestants met to reflect on how persons of faith could be mobilized to influence U.S. policies that address the causes of hunger. Under the leadership of the Reverend Arthur Simon, the group began to test the idea in the spring of 1974. By year's end, more than 500 people had joined the ranks of Bread for the World as citizen advocates for hungry people.

In September 1991, the Reverend David Beckmann succeeded Simon as president.
