We're pleased to announce a food drive benefitting local hungry families. Spicely® is running a benefit through Food Day, October 24th 2011, on our website (http://www.spicely.com). Proceeds from the benefit will help Alameda County Community Food Bank. ACCFB operates a network of over 275 community organizations. Thanks to Mike Altfest for his assistance!

Despite the generosity of millions of Americans who have supported the people in need, the need for food assistance has never been greater. According to the USDA's annual study measuring food security in the United States, the number of Americans living in food insecure homes topped 50 million in 2009. Perhaps most alarming, of this total, approximately one in three people in America who is at hunger risk is a child (17.2 million).
