HOSEA FEED THE HUNGRY MAKES A DESPERATE PLEA FOR DONATION OF FOOD

Calls an Emergency Press Conference for appeal @ 11am on July 17th, 2008


Atlanta, GA - (July 14th, 2008) - Hosea Feed The Hungry has been seeing an increase of families this summer so much so that their food pantry has minimize days they are open to 2-3 days a week to maintain the food available. With the influx of people, Hosea Feed The Hungry may have to close down the food pantry until the fall, when major food banks are able to supply their seasonal needs and at that time a majority of the food donation will need to be split between the annual dinners still causing a deficiency.

This shortage of food is also creating a hindrance for the outreach team who need food and supplies for their bi-weekly visits to the homeless and elders in shut-ins.
