Read for Food
Read for Food owes its existence to two forms of sustenance: food and poetry.
Dear poets, friends, and supporters,
The Read for Food project is currently on hold. Paul Clemente, the program's founder, is on summer break. He is recovering from a tumultuous year fighting Parkinson's Disease. Paul hopes that this rest will re-invigorate him and Read for Food. Best wishes
Post Script
According to President Obama the past two and half years have been the most difficult since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
I know many talented people who are unemployed or under-employed. The job market is pretty grim. The hunger-at-risk demographic has expanded. Pantries and kitchens are on the front lines of this crisis.
To date, the poets have contributed $2500 (two thousand five hundred dollars) worth of money and canned goods to Read for Food.
100% of their donations have been passed along to the pantries and kitchens of the Hudson Valley.
Raising money has not been easy. Sometimes I feel like I am asking too much of the literary community. Asking them to give more and dig deeper. But, they have met my challenge and along the way we've had some fun. I know I have.
Regards,
Paul
