Today's Goodwill Partner is the Co-founders of Indian American Council, Raj & Anna Asava.

Raj and his wife Aradhana (Anna) together launched the Indian American Council (IAC), a 100% volunteer group formed to raise awareness, improve engagement, and channel resources and contributions of the Indian American community through U.S.-based food banks. With a rallying cry of “Hunger Mitao!” (meaning “Wipe Out Hunger”) the IAC launched with an ambitious “Million Meal March” campaign. Within their first year of operation, working initially with the North Texas and Houston Food Banks, the IAC has now raised over 3.5 million meals.
