Second
annual Silence the Growl kicks off
United
Way of Greater Atlanta is kicking off its second annual Silence the
Growl – its campaign to fight summer hunger among children who
receive federally funded free and reduced meals during the school
year. Last year, United Way and its partners fed more than 7,000
meals to children that are not part of a summer lunch program. This
year’s goal is to provide more than 15,000 meals. The campaign ends
June 1.
“Throughout
the 13-county region, more than 350,000 children run the risk of
losing one or more meals each day during the summer,” says United
Way of Greater Atlanta president Milton J. Little, Jr. “No child
should go hungry. Last year our community stepped up and provided
more than 7,000 meals to children. This year, we hope to double
that.”
There are several ways you can get involved and partner with United Way’s Silence the Growl campaign.
