ST. PATRICK HUNGER PROJECT
"The mission of the St. Patrick Hunger Project is to help support our community network of hunger-related agencies in meeting the food needs of the individuals and families they serve. By educating Central New Yorkers about "An Gorta Mor" ("The Great Hunger") in Ireland, we hope to focus the efforts of fellow Syracusans on the need here, in our own community, to fight hunger year 'round- especially during the month of March when food supplies at the agencies are lower."

During the famine years in Ireland one million men, women, and children starved to death while resources were available that could have prevented one of history's worst tragedies. In our own community we have the resources to make a difference- and ensure no individual goes hungry in Syracuse in 2008.

Please join in making the "world" in Syracuse better for the individuals and families who go hungry every day by supporting the St. Patrick Hunger Project. Thank you.
