William (Ewell) Sterner, Founder and CEO. Ewell founded Hunger at Home in 2008 in San Diego and reactivated the nonprofit in 2015 after moving to San Jose. As a 30-year hospitality executive, Ewell was moved to start Hunger at Home when his son Cassidy volunteered and saw the devastating effects of hunger and Ewell knew of the extensive food waste in the hospitality industry. Ewell’s background makes him ideally suited to partner with hotels, convention centers and entertainment venues to channel excess food to those in need. Prior to joining Hunger at Home, Ewell served as Team San Jose’s general manager of operations at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center. Ewell also served as director of food and beverage at the Sundance Resort in Utah and area director for 26 Hilton Hotel properties in the San Diego area. While at the Hilton, Ewell was awarded the Gold Key Food and Beverage Person of the Year Award for launching the “Go Green” committee aimed at food sustainability. He was also awarded the Food and Beverage Person of the Year in Management from the City of San Diego for his work launching the first Hunger at Home Gala. Ewell strongly believes that as a community we will end hunger when we, “Make what has become acceptable, unacceptable. Make those who have become invisible, visible. If not now, when? If not us, then who?”
