This is the photo of staff and clients that attended the "Hunger Hurts" rally on Tuesday, June 6, 2006 at Ohio Statehouse Atrium in Columbus Ohio. June 6th was National Hunger Awareness Day. "National Hunger Awareness Day gives supporters an opportunity to gather resources, supporters and voices in focusing the nation's attention on one of the most solvable problems facing every community in America.  Right now, 38 million Americans aren't even sure where they will get their next meal. National Hunger Awareness Day is the grassroots movement to raise awareness about the solvable problem of hunger in America.  Increasing awareness that domestic hunger is a real and growing problem will help ensure that there are enough resources to feed hungry Americans." Friends & Neighbors was honored to win a $100 award at this event to be applied to our Food Bank account!
