PROC
W HEREAS t he City of Tukwila recognizes adequate nutrition as a basic goal for each citizen; and
WHEREAS, no parent should have to send a child to school hungry, no baby
tili .siz'S'i, should be without the comfort of the feedings needed for mental and physical
growth, no elderly person's health should be jeopardized by lack of appropriate =s
foods; and
WHEREAS, food banks, emergency and hot meal programs working with
the City of Tukwila, local churches, social service agencies, and hundreds of
volunteers are striving day in and day out to stem the rising tide of hunger, but
still need more help; and
WHEREAS, we believe that when the citizens who are not i nvolved hear of
the especially desperate needs of the hungry as winter approaches and their low c:-
incomes must stretch to cover increasing fuel electricity and rental costs leavm .N
g Y ty g
even less money for monthly food purchase an outpouring of community
assistance will follow; and
WHEREAS, the Emergency Feeding Program coordinates an annual food r
drive to help support the efforts of their program and the area's food banks m
fighting hunger, which will be held at grocery stores throughout King County
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jim Haggerton, Mayor of the City of Tukwila, do
hereby proclaim September 27, 2008:
Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry
j• m the City of Tukwi and encourage all citizens to join the Emergency Feeding
Program and our food banks to nourish the who are hungry.
