Feed a Neighbor Campaign Begins
Published Wednesday, November 25, 2009 at 04:38 AM
Nicola Goren, Acting CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, says - the need can seem overwhelming, but it's not insurmountable. Goren points out - this initiative provides individuals with the tools to identify needs in their community and ways they can ensure that their neighbors have enough to eat. The two major components of the initiative include an anti-hunger volunteer toolkit developed by USDA that provides information about how individuals can directly and immediately affect hunger and access to service opportunities in their local community.
Special Assistant to the President, Joshua DuBois, emphasizes that - in the coming days and weeks, the White House will continue to shine a spotlight on this critical issue, and the Feed A Neighbor initiative is the next crucial step.
