Hundreds and thousands of people from every walk of life connect with us over the course of a year. These folks can be people in need, volunteers, food or financial donors, groups feeding people, media or other interested parties. Despite the incredible diversity of people, there is one unifying statement heard and it goes something like this “I want to make a difference”. With the current economy and state of affairs across the country and in our own communities, people have not lost hope that things can be better; not only for themselves but also for their neighbor.
This is my first blog on our new web site – we’ve totally re-designed our site to make it easier for you to get plugged in. We’ve done this because there is a huge GAP between the need for emergency food and available resources. September is Hunger Action Month, please take a few moments to check out the “Million Meal Challenge” on our site how you can become involved – it’s simple and there’s something for everyone.
In future blogs, I’ll share our progress on the Million Meal Challenge, insights on “food security”, how financial donations to Second Harvest are making a difference with people in need and a series of thought-provoking questions and topics around hunger in our communities. Stay tuned and let us know what you think of our new site, we welcome and need your feedback.
