PROCLAMA TION
hunger hurts the whole community; it harms the proper development of
children, compromises the strength of our workforce and undermines
Oregon's livability; and
ACCESS, Inc., isJackson County's Regional Coordinating Agency for
emergency food distribution, and is the Senior Nutrition Program
provider, including Loaves and Fishes home delivered meals and the
Summer Lunch Program for children; and
there are many programs in Jackson County and Ashland that are
dedicated to emergency food distribution and providing meals and
without such programs as CARING FRIENDS, UNCLE FOOD'S
DINER, THE ASHLAND FOOD BANK, THE ASHLAND
CHRISTIAN CHURCH, and others, there would be many more
hungry people in our community.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Catherine M. Shaw, Mayor of the City of Ashland, do
hereby proclaim November 22, 1999, as
"Solutions to Hunger Day"
in the City of Ashland and urge all citizens to fight hunger by joining in with all the
food banks in Ashland and the surrounding area in the solution to this community
problem.
Dated the 16 day of November, 1999.
