“Today in Palmyra, PA, volunteers at the Lebanon Valley Brethren Home will collect food and sell baked goods for the 'Great American Bake Sale' to support their local food bank. In hundreds of small towns, suburban communities, and cities from New York to California, thousands of volunteers will help collect food, glean fields, prepare meals, and raise awareness as a part of National Hunger Awareness Day. These dedicated volunteers and their compassionate acts represent a grassroots citizens' movement motivated to reduce hunger in America. These volunteers are the people who prepare the dinners and stock the shelves of the local charities that serve more than 9 million kids who lack basic food supplies. They are motivated by appalling statistics that show that more than 13 million children live in what the Federal Government deems 'food insecure' households. And, of course, they are motivated by knowing the needs and faces of the vulnerable people in their communities.”
