No Hunger Holiday

Well taking a break from the craziness for a day and trading it in for the craziness of No Hunger Holiday.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the event, you can check out our web site here:

To be brief, the event was founded by a fellow Harvester Knight of Columbus and his wife 15 years ago and provides complete Thanksgiving Day meals to needy families throughout the St. Charles County and surrounding areas. This year was a record event for us as we fed more than 1,400 families (about 5,000) people.

I play a very small part in this event as a communications director if you will, trying to drum up publicity for the event through the local press and media. This year was a great one for us as we got good coverage in both the Post Dispacth and Journal but also had coverage from KTVI Fox 2 (it was brief video and they called it the wrong thing, but progress comes in small steps).

Here is a photo album from the event if you want to check it out:


Happy Thanksgiving!
