Hunger Resource Network goes after MDG goal #1

The Millennium Development Goals, agreed to by nations of the world as a target for 2015, start with eliminating hunger and poverty. The Hunger Resource Network going after goal number one, starting in our own back yard.

The Hunger Resource Network brings together churches, food providers and organizations that serve the needy around the Chicago area.

• Food pantry and soup kitchen organizations have many needs, including food, paper goods and toiletries, shelving, assistance.
• Grocery stores, bakeries and other food providers often have surplus goods.
• Churches can provide the link between these two, picking up and delivering, communicating needs, organizing volunteers.

St. Giles Episcopal Church has been providing this kind of connection for 25 years. Now with the help of St. Giles members, this formula is being shared around our neighboring communities.

You can help in many ways, including driving goods from donor to provider, writing letters or making phone calls, and organizing volunteers. Contact Dan Jariabka through the church office to find out how you fit in with this important project.
