“I want white meat.”
“Pass the sweet potatoes.”
“I want dark meat.”
“More dressing, mom.”
These are all familiar sounds around the
Thanksgiving feast table we hear every year. We give
thanks to our heritage and a free America during the
Thanksgiving holiday. We also toast to our
forefather.
But, how many people don’t have any food to be
thankful for? Or drink to toast with?
Around the world 15,000 people die of hunger
daily. 10,000 of them are children. That’s a startling
fact. In America one out of every five is
malnourished to some degree with over 500 million
people worldwide affected by malnutrition.
The Tri-County Community Council Food Bank, in
cooperation with the Oregon Center for Peace and
Justice and OXFAM-America, national coordinators,
is planning a day-long Fast For a World Harvest
Thursday.
That means that you are asked to skip a meal or
fast for the whole day and send that money you
would have eaten-up to them for starving and
malnutritioned people.
Fifteen to twenty-five percent of your money will
go to OXFAM-America international self develop-
ment work in third world countries, ten percent will
go to the Oregon Center for Peace and Justice for
their hunger education work throughout the state
and the rest will go to the Food Bank to purchase
bulk protein food for the needy in the Tri-County
area.
Join the Fast For World Hunger and feel the
hunger pains and frustration that engulf millions
every day.
Send the money you would have eaten to Food
bank, 718 W. Bumside, Portland. That is the first
step in answering your question, “What can I do?”

The Oregon Student
Lobby, a group of student

from student fees, to pay a
