Monday, November 15, 2010 – Members of The Heroic 100 convened in Boston to “Strike Out Hunger” with Project Bread!
We at Heroic 100 feel it’s important to help out hunger projects and events like this because today, thousands of people in Massachusetts experience hunger because they can’t afford adequate food. Local families are struggling even more this year to put food on the table because of a recent rise in the cost of everyday food and the high cost of living in the state. In fact, many families and individuals who never thought they’d need to ask for help are now having to decide between paying rent, getting medical care, or buying food.
This is such an important time to come together and help our friends and neighbors in need. Remember, the most important time is now and our compassion is the greatest weapon we have against poverty and hunger, in the streets, in our shelters and at our dinner tables. Get out there and fight to end hunger now because no one should have to choose between rent, medicine or food.
My friends are all very awesome and always willing to help out for a good cause. Together we raised over $600 to feed hungry people in Massachusetts through the wonderful programs ofProject Bread! Please, check out their new site for ways you can get involved in the fight against hunger. Special thanks to our donors (also listed on the ticker at www.projectbread.org/goto/heroic100) – Peter Tangen, Kris Civitarese, The Almeida Family, Aimee, Phantom Zero & Nyx and my awesome bowling team. I had a great night out and I hope you did, too.
I’m looking forward to next year’s Walk for Hunger with Project Bread in May! If you’d like to suit up and join the team, email Civitron at civitron@heroic100.org.
