McGovern-Dole Leadership Award

https://www.wfpusa.org/awards/mcgoverndole-leadership/


The McGovern-Dole Leadership Award bears the names of Senator Robert Dole and the late Senator George McGovern to recognize their strong commitment to ending world hunger and honor their pioneering efforts, and that of others, to feed the hungry both in the U.S. and around the world.
