Focus
on America - 1994 to 2012
In
1993, when Stephen M. Apatow Ran Across America
for hunger homelessness and poverty, the focus was unmet needs of frontline
service programs. In 133 cities from Washington, DC to San
Francisco,
California the
team provided executive directors a platform to share with
churches, youth leadership programs, central school district honor
programs and the
media. The team helped
bridge the communication gap, and the response was immediate.
It
was this 133 city learning experience that prompted the development
of Project: Focus
on America and with the help
of the
Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and Emergency Food and Shelter National Board
program, the initiative reached 3100 emergency county coordinators
and USDA extension programs. Close to 20 years later the needs
are the
same.
