Southeast Ohio Hunger Fund

[theHandpuppet]

Perhaps when you think of hunger in America, "Ohio" doesn't come to mind. But for thousands throughout the Appalachian counties of southeast Ohio, the daily specter of poverty and hunger are very real. NO ONE in America should go to bed hungry, no child go to school on an empty stomach. If you think you could help to provide even one good meal for a needy family, please consider a donation to the Southeast Ohio Hunger Fund. Thank you!
