300 of America’s symphony orchestras come together to help hungry Americans.
“I think it’s a great gesture that when so many of the non-profits, particularly orchestras,
are facing their own crises, that we still care enough about humanity in general
to do what we can to see that everyone has food on the table.”

Why is hunger, almost eliminated in the 70’s, now widespread in America?
Dr. J. Larry Brown, formerly on the faculty of the Harvard School of Public Health,
served as chairman of the Physician Task Force on Hunger in America. He currently runs the
Center on Hunger and Poverty at Brandeis. He asks,
“Why doesn’t America end hunger like other nations have?”
Dr. J provides some real answers to this and other tough questions. Thought provoking stuff.

There are over 13 14 million hungry kids in the US today. 3548 million Americans who need help. Kids, the elderly, working families.
Take a few minutes to send your senators and representatives an email. Remind them to include an increase in food aid in the current Farm Bill.
Tell them to extend food stamp aid. The nation’s non profit foodbanks need increases to avoid more shortages and to help a growing number of Americans. (Read more..)

“Right now there are more than two million people at risk of hunger in our city. Help us make up this shortfall for New Yorkers who need it now. In the last couple years, the city’s soup kitchens and food pantries have lost approximately 12 million pounds of food due to cutbacks and flat-funding of TEFAP, the federal emergency food assistance program. This problem will not go away soon.” – The Foodbank for NYC

“In Alameda County as a whole, participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Stamp program is up 19.2 percent over a year ago. Officials attribute the rise to better outreach, along with increased need. “We’re definitely seeing more people, a lot of working people,” said Liz Gomez, outreach coordinator for the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
“Our clients are having a harder time making their rents.”

An editorial from The Boston Globe that’s worth the quick read -
“THE GREATER Boston Food Bank is about to double its capacity, building a new 110,000-square-foot home across the street from its current quarters – This is a long way of saying that people living in Massachusetts cities and towns are still plagued by hunger. – Hunger shames the people it hurts, so there isn’t a hungry people’s political party pressing for change. Instead there’s the silence of elderly men and women who are too proud to apply for food stamps; of working adults whose salaries stop short of covering enough groceries; of schoolchildren whose learning problems are hunger-related; and of hunger in the suburbs – READ MORE (Boston Globe free registration required)

This week congress is debating the Farm Bill.
“Check out this great series of articles on hunger in America written by the staff of Kennebec Journal & Morning Sentinel. ” – Hungrr
“We don’t talk about hunger because solving it is so big and complex. Its solutions entail making a college education more affordable and accessible; revamping our national farm policy to favor production of nutritious foods; promoting economic development to raise wages that currently cannot support families. We will need to reform a federal public assistance program that is insufficient and, paradoxically, creates dependency by penalizing recipients for trying to get ahead. Each of those is a serious challenge that will take years to accomplish.”

“Demand for food stamps is on the rise in Montana. Last year one out of every 12 Montanans, used food stamps to buy groceries each month. That’s more than one-third higher than who received food stamps in 2000.
‘It’s basically because our jobs on average don’t pay a lot. The goal clearly is to get people off food stamps. We’re trying to get more good-paying jobs.’ U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont.
‘We need to lend a helping hand to Montanans in need. Our goal must be developing a plan that will improve access to the food stamp program, particularly for children, the elderly, the working poor and our veterans. I think we can do that.’ – Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont. ”
