Aspen Hill Club Teams Up For Two Great Causes!
Join us Saturday, February 11 for the fourth annual Cycle for Great Causes event to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank and American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life". It's time to do what we can to educate, support, and fund both of these great organizations. You can do so by participating in this fabulous event.
The "Relay For Life" is an event in which the Aspen Hill Club participated in 2008 - 2011. We are proud to be able to participate again in 2012. As we know, age, sex, and race are not barred from this terrible disease so we want to do everything we can to contribute to this cause.
The American Cancer Society's "Relay For Life" is a worldwide movement to end cancer. It represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten, those who fight cancer will be supported and that one day cancer will be eliminated. So join us on February 11 to contribute to two incredible causes. Your contributions will mean the world to those in need. Find out more in upcoming newsletter articles on how you can participate and contribute.
What is the Capital Area Food Bank? The Capital Area Food Bank is the hub for food sourcing, food distribution and nutrition education in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area, serving those struggling with hunger. This year, the CAFB will distribute 30 million pounds of food, including 15 million pounds of fresh produce, through direct service and a network of more than 700 partner agencies. .
More than 257,000 residents (about 15 percent) in Montgomery and Prince George‟s Counties in Maryland are at risk of or experiencing hunger. Of these, 46 percent live in Montgomery County, ranked 10th nationally for highest median household income. (U.S. Census ACS 2006-2008 and U.S. Census American Community Survey, 2007)
With just $1 the Capital Area Food Bank can provide 3 meals; and 1.3 pounds of food is the equivalent of one meal.
