"Let us march on poverty until no American parent has to skip a meal so that their children may eat. March on poverty until no starved man walks the streets of our cities and towns in search of jobs that do not exist. Let us march on poverty until wrinkled stomachs in Mississippi are filled, and the idle industries of Appalachia are realized and revitalized, and broken lives in sweltering ghettos are mended and remolded." ~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Indy Week Announces Farmer FoodShare Holiday Fresh Food Drive
The Carrboro Farmer's Market is accepting donations for a holiday food drive. Part of these donations will go to the Inter-Faith council. This initiative is announced in an Indy Week article, "The Season of Feasting and Giving." Margaret Gifford, who runs the program, is quoted in the article, saying, "This program is small in the scheme of things, but it is demonstrating by example that if we are to have a healthy and sustainable local food economy in the Triangle, we must include everyone, even the low-income."
