RAKEVET-NATIONAL HUNGER AWARENESS DAY

[Defen...@aol.com]

Hey Rakevet,

 

    Tomorrow, June 5th, is National Hunger Awareness Day.
National Hunger Awareness Day is an effort to raise awareness of—and donations to help end—hunger in America. It was created in 2002, at a time when there was a significant increase in the number of Americans unable to feed their families. Clearly this dramatic disparity between increased demand and decreased supply needed to be addressed. National Hunger Awareness Day emerged as an important way to increase awareness about hunger in America. National Hunger Awareness Day is observed on the first Tuesday of June each year.

    As USYers we can do out part in helping out with world hunger whether its donating a can of food, helping out at a soup kitchen or just seeing a homeless person on the street and buying them a quick bite to eat. Another step we can take is by donating to organizations like MAZON (A Jewish Response to World Hunger).

    So tomorrow, June 5th, try to do something special to help those less fortunate by donating a few dollars or a little bit of your time to help the National Hunger Awarness. And when you take a bite into your delicious sandwich tomorrow (mine is peaunut butter and jelly), think about those who are hungry!
