During this time of year the Empty Bowls organization normally conducts a fundraiser for the good work they perform in assisting with the relief of hunger in our area. As chair of the Matamoras Area Food Pantry I am appreciative for their contributions to our organization. They have been a faithful donor in our efforts to help alleviate hunger in the Grandview Township area.
The fact is that 1 in 4 children struggle with hunger in Southeast Ohio. A report by the food banks of this area reveal this unacceptable statistic. For all age groups the numbers who are without reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food is 1 in 6.
