“Put a Fork in Hunger” Food Drive

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Fork in the Road

Fork in the Road

We recently learned how some community members are taking action against hunger in Pasadena, all courtesy of a giant fork.

Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22 from 8 AM to 4 PM, community members will be collecting food donations at the “Fork in the Road” art instillation at the intersection of Pasadena Avenue and St. John’s Avenue. (Just look for the giant fork!)

Union Station Homeless Services will be the beneficiary of what has been dubbed the “Largest food drive the city has ever seen.” The event, titled Put a Fork in Hunger, is sponsored by Philip Coombes, Ken Marshall and Bob Stane.

The giant fork started out as a birthday gift (read the LA Times article), and has turned into an opportunity for the community to come together to fight hunger. Questions about the Put a Fork in Hunger food drive can be sent to Phil@AgentPhil.com.

Let us know what you’re doing to fight hunger this holiday season by sending an email to giving@unionstationhs.org

UPDATE: Due to major traffic and safety concerns, people dropping off non-perishable items for the food drive MUST enter Bellefontaine off Fair Oaks and proceed West.
