Protect the needy contact congress http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml and ask them to preserve foodstamp benefits in this time of hardship.. FACTS: “SNAP is targeted at the most vulnerable households: 76 percent include a child, elderly person or disabled person, and 85 percent have a gross income at or below 100 percent of the poverty line. Despite what you hear, benefits are not overly generous. The average participant gets a monthly benefit of just $134, less than $1.50 per meal.” - Bill Bolling, The Atlanta Forward

Important call for immediate action From Feeding America
• Nearly 300,000 kids would lose free school meals.
• 2 to 3 million individuals would lose their food assistance entirely;
• 500,000 households would see their benefits cut by $90 per month; HELP US FIGHT FOR THE HUNGRY—CALL CONGRESS TODAY! 877-698-8228 and speak with your Representative today!
Tomorrow, the House Agriculture Committee will vote on a Farm Bill proposal that cuts SNAP by over $16 billion.

Are we a nation that lets our elected officials take meals away from hungry children and seniors? We cannot let this happen. That’s why we are coordinating a national call-in day to show Congress that increasing hunger in America is unacceptable! Will you join us? You can help by calling your Representative today!

Call our toll-free hotline at 877-698-8228.
Listen to the pre-recorded message and enter your zip code when prompted.
State that you are a constituent and give your name and the town you are calling from.
Let them know you are calling about the Farm Bill and deliver this important message:

I strongly oppose cuts to SNAP and other hunger-relief programs. Please vote against the proposed cuts to SNAP in the House Farm Bill. Increasing hunger in America is the wrong direction for our country.

Ladies who (provide) lunch
Weehawken Women’s Club requests donations during emergency food drive

Weehawken Women’s Club President Carol Kravitz knows how to work a grocery store.

She’s got local markets and discount food clubs practically mapped out in her mind, and during times when a single bag of groceries can run around $30, maximizing a dollar is a huge asset.

Fortunately for the North Hudson Community Action Corporation (NHCAC), Kravitz is an expert shopper.

“The New Jersey food bank shelves [which provide food for needy people] have been severely depleted,” she said. “During an average year, they will give out between 20 and 25 million pounds of food. Last year, they gave out 39 million.”

When Kravitz found out about the crisis from the N.J. State Federation of Women’s Clubs (NJSFWC) of General Federation of Women’s Clubs, she and the Weehawken chapter immediately decided to join the cause. At the outset of the first of three designated collection days at the Senior Nutrition Center, the club had already amassed around $550 worth of donations for food.

Canstruction Vancouver 2012

Canstruction Vancouver is an annual design and build competitions that takes place in over 180 cities world wide. Teams of architects, engineers, designers and schools get together to canstruct fantastic, giant sized sculptures made entirely out of canned food. After the structures are built and the winners declared the creations go on view to the general public as giant art exhibits. At the close of the competitions 100% of the food used in the structures is donated to our Greater Vancouver Food Banks for distribution to community emergency feeding programs. Since 2002, Canstruction Vancouver has raised 1,056,043 cans of food for our local community. [x]

By: Virginia Hayes

“The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, with offices in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, delivered 11 million pounds of food to 102,000 individuals throughout the county in 2011. Foodbank’s mission is to provide nourishment to those in need by acquiring and distributing safe, nutritious foods via local agencies and providing education to solve hunger and nutrition problems in Santa Barbara County. They do this with donated food from many sources, both locally and statewide. Using surplus food that would otherwise go to waste from retail outlets and governmental agencies, they also find that Santa Barbara County farmers and ranchers are among the most generous contributors of fresh fruits and vegetables in the country.

This year the group is launching a new initiative to further its goals to eliminate hunger in our community. Grow Your Own Way/La Comida Crece en Casa aims to teach participants how to grow at least a portion of their own food, gives them the supplies and tools they need to succeed, and requires that they then give back to their community through volunteer activities to help even more people achieve at least partial food independence.”
