Thanks for doing an important show on hunger, getting into some of the real issues behind it, and including Bread for the World.
Thank you Kojo for delving into this globaly important issue. The Seat Pleasant Community Development Corporation believes that to in order to affect issues globally, you organize and act locally. To that end, we have a Food Security Program where we distribute 7 - 10 tons of free fruits and vegetables weekly; a Youth and Senior Intergenerational Vegetable Garden; sponsor issue forums, email blasts, and; a Thursday Seat Pleasant Farmers Market from 4 - 7pm starting on July 5, 2012.
