“I never knew how much a small group of people could accomplish until I came to the Hunt Institute. It is amazing to see all of our diverse talents come together to try to tackle problems of poverty in such a unique way. As a Dallas native, the people of Dallas are near and dear to my heart, so I am passionate about doing my part in trying to make an impact on our community.” – Kim Strelke
