A report released last week by FRAC ( the Food Research and Action Center) shocked many with its news of the increased impact of hunger on families in this country, but especially in Pennsylvania's First Congressional District, which includes Kensington, parts of North and South Philadelphia, and Chester. PA's First Congressional District ranks as the second hungriest place for families in the US, with half of the families in the district reporting not having enough to eat.
This sobering report encourages us to stay awake to the problem of hunger in our communities, especially here in the City. It also draws attention to the pending legislation/actions in the US Congress that could effect the ring of protection, the safety net supports to those struggling with economic need.
Stay awake is the message! Write to congressional representatives from both sides of the aisle encouraging wisdom and restraint. Write, call, email. Take action and read the complete Inquirer article here...
