USDA: Number of Americans Going Hungry Increases (AP article 11.17.09)

Thank you for helping us make our goal in 2009! 

AAA members and the Austin community rallied at the last minute to raise the $35,000 needed to purchase 1,100 food packs this Thanksgiving. Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's drive! 

100% of all collected funds go toward the purchase of food. Anyone may donate with cash, check or credit card. Credit card donations are made on-line through our partnership with the Austin Community Foundation.  

Benefiting agencies:
• Austin Housing Authority   
• Rainbow Room (Texas Department of Family and Protective Services)
• SafePlace
Recipient families are determined by Austin Housing Authority and other agencies. 9,887 families have benefited since 1992. (Data for previous years not available.)

AAA volunteers are involved in 100% of the drive. Volunteers solicit all donations – cash, check and on-line credit card donations. Volunteers hand deliver all food packs around Austin on Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
