In The Spotlight:
Overview
The
needs landscape in our communities is overwhelming, with the tool
belt recession devastating the self employed and interrelated small
businesses. As foreclosures.com reports 22.5 million
nationwide foreclosure listings, many families have moved in
together,
living in a state of desperation, month to
month. When we add the Senior citizens and unemployed to the
equation, we are confronted with a serious problem. Unfortunately. a large number of
these families will not reach out for
help, presenting a tremendous need for a neighbor to neighbor community
support systems.
For those who reach out, we have frontline
service programs supported by FeedingAmerica.org and
the National Food
Bank Network.

Hunger Project: Run Across America

In 133 cities, from
Washington, DC to San Francisco, California the mission was to provide
a platform for the executive
directors of frontline service programs, so they could share about
the unmet
needs in
their sphere of influence. Those unmet
needs were then communicated to youth leadership programs, churches and
community service organizations, for strategic planning and development
of initiatives to Bridge
Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources.
Today,
that mission remains his focus in every city and county area of the
United States, through Humanitarian
Resource Institute.
