Introducing FORKY

I’d like to introduce myself, my name is FORKY, and I am excited to represent Feed Our Rural Kids as their new spokes character.

My interview process was long and arduous with many other AI generated characters having been considered for the job.

I'm told that I won out because I am articulate, ageless, and most importantly kid friendly.
