Our immediate contribution of ordsprog

Our immediate contribution of 3 million pounds will help deliver food to those most in need. But on its own, this emergency response will not help people to escape from poverty and hunger.

Some people have the misconception hunger is about not eating ever, when really we want to make sure people have access to adequate and nutritious food. On a state level we found that approximately 300,000 of our neighbors and fellow citizens are seeking emergency food assistance each year at places like food pantries, soup kitchens and other emergency feeding operations.

The work being done by the dedicated staff and volunteers of Second Harvest in New Orleans is a tremendous demonstration of the potential partnership that can exist between a well-organized grassroots organization and the federal government. Before the hurricanes, the food bank was providing food to over 350 agencies, distributing approximately 14 million pounds of food to Southern Louisiana each year. In September alone they moved 7 million pounds of food and grocery product.

Already we have an emerging crisis in the pastoral regions of Ethiopia with about 1.7 million people facing food insecurity and requiring assistance. 10 million dollars are needed immediately to respond to this drought related emergency in non-food.

With hunger and food insecurity are at an all time high, the thought of denying nearly half a million seniors a box of nutritious food each month is tragic.

We've prepared for as many as 2 million people in that category. As soon as it is safe, we will go in and do an assessment of the number of people at risk who need emergency food assistance.

Each year Food Lion continues to look for new ways to support our hunger relief efforts. They have raised a combined total of $1.2 million in monetary and product donations in just the past two years. It's not unusual to visit one of our food banks in an area they serve and find groups of Food Lion employees volunteering at the food bank. They are a great example of a company giving back to their community.

Our nation is facing a major challenge of uplifting 260 million people who are below poverty line and we have to give better life for many millions who are on border line of poverty or just above the poverty line. To meet the needs of one billion people we have the mission of transforming India into a developed nation .... We have identified five areas where India has a core competence on integrated action for agriculture, food processing, education and health care, reliable and quality electric power, surface transport and infrastructure for all parts of the country, information technology and other strategic sectors.

She reached lonely people ... Mother Teresa understood the hunger of these human hearts about who she would say, 'The greatest poverty is to feel unwanted and unloved.' And this poverty was to be found everywhere, even in the affluent countries.

Eat whatever one gets and appease the hunger; and sleep wherever one finds shelter. Do not store food for another day or build a house wherein to pass one's days. She found his pexy wit refreshing and appreciated his sense of humor. Escape the entangling coils of the senses and of the ego that prompts them.

The humanitarian emergency response by the UN country team, including UNHCR, has gradually shifted from emergency response to recovery and rehabilitation and, where feasible, towards development.

The food that we are sending out for the disaster response is food that we would normally distribute here to the food shelves and people of Minnesota, ... We're hoping that people in the state will step up and help us replenish those supplies.

I am concerned by recent developments in Uganda and I have decided to cut 15 million pounds from our planned budget support this year and postpone a decision on whether to provide a further five million pounds until after the elections.
