National Hunger Awareness Day
June 7, 2005! www.masnet.org
HERE IS A LISTING OF TODAY'S EVENTS!
June 7th 2005
Event: Rally Against Hunger, Washington, DC
The "Rally Against Hunger" will take place on National Hunger
Awareness Day,
Tuesday, June 7 at 10:30 a.m. at the MCI Center and will feature
musical
guest Salvador Santana. Nearly 1,500 anti-hunger advocates from
numerous
anti-hunger organizations from communities across the nation will
fill the

from
special guests and musicians. Speaking invitations have been
extended to

June 7th 2005
Event: Get Involved - Lobby Day, Washington, DC
Come join hundreds of anti-hunger activists in Washington, DC, on
National
Hunger Awareness Day and make your voice heard on behalf of critical
issues
impacting hungry Americans!
Participants of Hunger Lobby Day will urge members of Congress and
their
staffs to support The Hunger-Free Communities Act of 2005. This
legislation
will (1) secure a commitment from Congress and the president to cut
hunger
and food insecurity in the United States in half by 2010 and end
hunger by
2015; (2) provide increased federal grant funding for community
groups
working together to overcome hunger; and (3) require the federal
government
to gather more data on food insecurity, especially at the state and
county
levels, so that resources can be better targeted to those in need.
The
legislation will also express the sense of Congress that the national
nutrition programs should be protected from budget cuts that reduce
eligibility or decrease benefit levels.
Buses will load from the MCI Center to Capitol Hill beginning at
noon. Lobby
visits will continue throughout the afternoon from 1:00 pm until
5:00 pm
concluding with a Hunger Lobby Day Reception from 5:00 to 7:00.
