Named Meals Matter, the student-led initiative has expanded to over 35 chapters across the United States and South Korea. The organisation has successfully raised more than <b>$550,000</b> through monetary and food donations with the help of numerous young volunteers. For their inspiring efforts, both founders have received prestigious international recognition, including <b>The Diana Award</b>.
