10/15/12 - Livingston County residents are being encouraged to take part in the fight against hunger tomorrow. Tuesday marks "World Food Day". First established in 1981, the nationwide movement encourages community members to focus on promoting healthier diets, sustainable farms and protecting the environment. In Livingston County, more than 21,250 individuals struggle with food insecurity and don't always have enough nutritious food. The Livingston County Hunger Council is urging community members to get involved and help in finding sustainable solutions. It offers some simple ideas to engage families, neighbors and co-workers in the fight against hunger. Some include hosting a holiday food drive or collection for Gleaners Community Food Bank, pack lunch for the week and donate the money saved to a food pantry or visit local farmers markets for fresh produce. To learn more or get involved, contact the Livingston County Hunger Council at 1-810-494-3000. (JK)
