HUnger Relief

It has been a while since I have made mention of anything with respect to the foodbank... It has been some time since the need to food has been on such an urgent level...

Friend,
As the destruction of Hurricane Ike becomes clear, we urgently need your help to rush emergency food and supplies to the devastated areas.
The hurricanes have nearly depleted our Disaster Relief Fund and emptied the shelves of many of our food banks!
We must get 17 truckloads of food and emergency relief supplies to victims of Hurricane Ike immediately.
Every penny you give today will go directly to helping the men, women, and children left reeling in the wake of these recent disasters.
Your neighbors need you. There is no time to waste. I hope I can count on you today to help provide emergency food and supplies for those in need.

Sincerely,
Vicki EscarraPresident and CEO

P.S. Many victims of Hurricane Gustav still need our help and now Ike has brought a new wave of need to our doors. Please give what you can today!


____________________________America’s Second Harvest is now Feeding America
As of September 1, 2008, America’s Second Harvest will be called Feeding America. Research has told us that making this change will not only make our mission of fighting hunger and feeding Americans in need relevant to more people, but it will allow for increased awareness of a problem that is hidden to most — 35 million Americans facing hunger. As our new name suggests, our mission is the same as always — to feed America’s hungry.
Look for our new name and logo in future communications.
