Thus, parishioners in the four Croton churches are being encouraged to write Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton (United States Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510/Faxes: Schumer 202-228-3027; Clinton -0282) and Congresswoman Sue Kelly (U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, D.C. 20515 /Fax: 202-225-3289).
The letter-writing is to urge these members of Congress to cosponsor the Hunger Free Communities legislation, which calls for a commitment to cut U.S. food insecurity in half by 2010, strengthen hunger-fighting efforts of local community organizations, and support research that helps Congress make better policy choices.
