Tremendous Job Lari & Jazmyne! Lari Mussatti & Jazmyne are walking for those who are hungry and in need of assist. Yesterday, they completed their 3 trips around Lake Merritt!!! Jaymyne has been walking for HTF for since she was little. Lari's mom, Anne Anderson, was a co-founder of the Hunger Task Force in 1974 with Bette Pancoe. Anne and Bette both understood the importance of helping others who are in need. It was not in their nature to let someone leave without food or shelter. When I first attended LABC in 1985, Anne was the first person to welcome our family to Lakeshore and in the same breath, she invited us to dinner at her house. She later invited me to join the Hunger Task Force in late 80's. I believed I was a member of HTF before I joined the church. LOL Their legacy lives on in each us.
According to Alameda County Community Food Bank, they serve 1 in 5 of our neighbors in our county. Two-thirds are children and seniors.
If you have an opportunity, please donate to the Labc Hunger Task Force. Every dollar counts!! We are walking for those who are HUNGRY, HOMELESS, AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES.
