White & Logan Team Up to Designate "Feed Your Neighbor Week" in PA 

 

HARRISBURG -- State Sen. Mary Jo White (R-21) and Sen. Sean Logan (D-45) will hold a news conference Tuesday to discuss their Senate Resolution designating the week of June 5 through 11, 2006 as “Feed Your Neighbor Week” in Pennsylvania.

 

The event will take place Tuesday, June 6, 11:45 a.m. near the Capitol fountain.

 

Under the Senate Resolution being introduced by Senator White and Senator Logan, Feed Your Neighbor Week “is set aside for residents of this Commonwealth to contribute to local and regional food pantries which rely on donated food and volunteer services.”

 

The news conference will coincide with the “Bag Hunger” campaign by the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and GIANT Food Stores. Volunteers will be on location to offer complimentary bag lunches to promote “National Hunger Awareness Day.”  Now in its fifth year, the day serves as a platform for domestic hunger-relief organizations to raise the level of awareness about the pervasive issue of hunger in America.
