· Itunger Awareness Month ' '
Whereas, last year more than 429,000 Oregon residents sought and
received emergency food supplies from the Oregon Food
Bank Network; and
Whereas,
hunger hurts the whole community: it harms the
development of children, compromises the strength of
our work force and undermines Oregon's livability; and
Whereas, one in seven people in Oregon suffer from hunger; and
Whereas,
although the Oregon Food Bank distributes over 20
million pounds of food through 20 regional coordinating
agencies and 650 local member agencies, including
Access Food Share, the problem remains unacceptably
severe; and
Whereas,
the attention and assistance of all Oregonians is needed to
bring help and hope to hungry people by eliminating
hunger as a problem in our state.
Now, therefore, I do hereby proclaim the month of March 1996 as
Hunger Awareness Month
in the City of Ashland and urge all citizens to fight hunger by
joining Access Food Share and the rest of the Oregon Food Bank
Network in finding a community solution to a community problem.
Dated the 5th day of March, 1996.
