M GER AWARMSS WMM in ),
Contra Costa Count
The need for food among the hungry people in Contra Costa County is
increasing, and the 'demand for the services of the soup kitchens in
the County has increased by more than twenty percent over the past
year.
Contra Costa's emergency food pantries provided three-day food
baskets to 10,000 people in 1991, and the dedication and hard work
of our community's pantry and soup kitchen workers are: continually
making a significant, positive impact' in addressing the problems of
hunger in Contra Costa County.
Steps can be taken by local agencies and jurisdictions to improve
this dramatic situation which threatens the health and well-being
of our community. However, the real answers to the problem of
hunger require the education and involvement of all the citizens of
Contra Costa.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board' of Supervisors
declares March 30 - April 5, 1992, as HUNGER AWARBNESS WEEK in
ContraCosta County as an attempt to publicizes this important issue
and to garner additional support from all sectors of the community
in the fight against hunger.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON March' 17, 1992, by a unanimous vote of the
Board members present.
