guest shot Fast for famine g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g “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.
