May 6th, 2011
Cornwall, Ontario – Thousands of people use, benefit from and receive assistance at the Agapè Food Bank and Soup Kitchen.
Unfortunately, many people in Cornwall and area are struggling to get enough food every day. Hunger is a complicated problem and one that many of us feel challenged to make an impact on. And Hunger Awareness Day, May 31, is an opportunity to get engaged with the issue.
“We can make a difference. Hunger Awareness Day, May 31, is a day for communities and individuals to take action in reducing hunger” says Alyssa Blais, Executive Director.
The Agapè Center is hosting an event, in partnership with the Cornwall Public Library, May 31st from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm to talk about hunger and to launch their first “Go HUNGRY 4 Agape” fundraiser. A movie about poverty will also be shown.
“We believe that every community member can have an impact on hunger and want to inspire them to think differently and take action against an issue that affects so many of us.” says Alyssa.
