Feed the Children

How is it November already?!
Busy times here at the Hunger Network, this past month we had a great time hosting our Treasured Donors Reception, all 4 of our event committee meetings and even redid our website! We will be launching the new website very soon...so stay tuned!

One of my favorite activities this past month was the FEED THE CHILDREN program. The Cleveland Cavaliers organization sponsored a truck of boxes filled with non-perishable food items and other basic essentials for our clients. The truck delivered over 400 boxes, 9,638 lbs of badly needed goods last week, and on Friday morning we were able to deliver these items to 200 of our Cleveland neighbors that needed them the most.

We all met at one of our hunger center sites, the May Dugan Center, to distribute the donations. The Cleveland Cavaliers sent their ticket sales team, an awesome group of 20 enthusiastic young professionals that came ready to work hard! My friends Moon Dog & Sir CC were also there, along with members of their dance team, called the Scream Team, and some Cavs Girls. They quickly formed an assembly line in order to serve our clients quickly and efficiently. Each client received 3 boxes; 1 box contained non-perishable foods and the other 2 boxes contained basic goods. The Cavs crew helped each client carry these generous gifts down the stairs.

Clients were so grateful for these donations and were in high spirits as they picked up the boxes. Some even danced with the Scream Team - check out us learning the moves to Michael Jackson's Thriller, lead by the experts!



It was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season of giving. This is a time when our neighbors need us the most. 1 in 6 children in Greater Cleveland go to bed hungry each night. Help us put food on their tables at this crucial time.

A huge thank you to the Cleveland Cavaliers organization and everyone that made it all possible!
