j'= WHEREAS, we believe that when the citizens who are not involved hear of
the especially desperate needs of the hungry as winter approaches and their low Siit
incomes must stretch to cover increasing fuel, electricity and rental costs leaving
even less money for monthly food purchase an outpouring of community
assistance will follow; and
WHEREAS, the Emergency Feeding Program coordinates an annual food
drive to help support the efforts of their program and the area's food banks in
v fighting hunger, which will be held at grocery stores throughout King County; `i
