Hunger Awareness Fair raises money for new food pantry

Jul 11, 2010

Upbeat music and the smell of hot dogs turned a silent parking lot into a lively vat of fundraising for the Midwest Outreach Distribution Center, or MODC, on Saturday. The organization hosted a Hunger Awareness Fair and Walk-a-thon in Champaign to raise money for the construction of a new food pantry. Josephine Underwood, event programmer, said the pantry is a primary step to fight the current hunger problem present in Champaign. She said one out of seven children is impoverished and suffers from hunger, while 11 percent of Champaign’s residents are in poverty.
