Yes, the month is almost over, but it's not to late to act. The Mid-Ohio Foodbank has declared September Hunger Action Month. Their website offers information, videos, and ideas for ways to fight hunger every day of the month. We recently benefited from the donation of some fresh produce from the Mid-Ohio Foodbank and will be delivering it to the Johnstown-Northridge Food Pantry along with this week's harvest from the garden.
Some sobering news: "According to statistics organized by the Mid-Ohio Foodbank, 5 percent of the Delaware County population is living below the poverty line. There are 25,263 requests at food pantries." Requests at area food pantries are up 44% over the last four years.
Helping out in the garden, either through work or donations, is a simple way to help ease this difficult situation.
