\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — August 29, 2002 — Despite the best efforts of hundreds of anti-hunger volunteers and staff, there are still nearly 20,000 Rhode Islanders that go hungry due to lack of resources for adequate food. <\/p>\n

\t“This reality means we must find new, even more creative ways to address hunger and poverty in our own neighborhoods,” said Kathleen Gorman, head of the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Feinstein Center for a Hunger Free America. <\/p>\n

To help do that, the hunger center, in partnership with the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, is offering a results-oriented eight-session certificate program through 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Office of Special Programs for anyone who has a desire to strengthen their skills as a leader in the movement to make Rhode Island hunger-free. Sessions will be held Mondays from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 16 though Nov. 18 at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Providence Campus, 80 Washington St. (No sessions will be held Oct. 14 or Nov. 11) <\/p>\n

Volunteers and staff currently working in Rhode Islands pantry and meal site network and those who are interested in getting more involved are encouraged to register. <\/p>\n

The program consists of 20 hours of in-class sessions with 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty, anti-hunger advisors and experienced community leaders. Participants will be given some background on the issue of hunger to help them fully understand the problem and the obstacles to overcome it. <\/p>\n

Participants will define new strategies to combat the struggles that create hunger and get assistance developing an anti-hunger project to implement at his or her program site or neighborhood. <\/p>\n

\tThe hunger center with assistance from the food bank will award mini-grants to certificate graduates to support their project plans. An affordable $80 registration fee is required.
\n\tFor more information, call the 溏心vlog免费B站 Office of Special Programs at 277-5050. Deadline to register is Sept. 7. <\/p>\n
