Hunger Awareness Day 2007 June 5, 2007

June 5th, 2007 is Hunger Awareness Day

YOU can help end hunger in America, not just today, but every day.

BE AN ADVOCATE!!!!
*Use your voice to advocate for your hungry neighbors:
Write to your legislators and urge them to reform the 2007 USDA Farm Bill. Insist that it meets its obligations to families that depend on food stamps. Please contact members of Congress today and ask them to create a Farm Bill that reduces misguided subsidies and shifts those resources to support the programs that really need the money.

DONATE!!!!
*One dollar. One pound of food. One hour of your time. YOU can make an enormous difference in the lives of the hungry people all across
America. Your local pantry, food bank, soup kitchen is waiting for you and your talents. Organize a food drive or gather your friends to spend a couple of hours sorting food. Everything makes a difference!

VOLUNTEER!!!

*Are you in RFAR’s database of volunteers? Send your name, city/town, and email address to iwill@rockforaremedy.org and we’ll let you know when a band sponsoring food drives is rolling into your town.

Until the only thing left to hunger for is good music, we’ll be there,
