Second Harvest: Homeward Bound
By Lois Rockhill
Evelyn Goode is the spokeswoman for Homeward Bound for East Central Indiana. Her story serves to motivate community groups and individuals to raise funds for hunger and homelessness. It’s best to read her story in her own words. Go to our Second Harvest Food Bank website at www.curehunger.org, click on the ‘related links’ tab and then on Homeward Bound. Once on the statewide site, go to the map and choose East Central Indiana
Second Harvest Column: Hillary Clinton at the Wigwam
By Lois Rockhill
I have not committed to a candidate for U.S. president. That did not stop me from standing in the long line to get into the Anderson Wigwam to see Hillary Clinton. The line itself was inspirational. So many young people. So many women. “Pantsuits are Awesome,” read a sign in the crowd.
Second Harvest Column: Helpful Volunteers
By Lois Rockhill
You may have watched Oprah Winfrey’s “The Big Give” this past Sunday. Participants compete to come up with the most creative ways to take a given amount of money and other resources and multiply them before giving them away to help others.
Contestants applied a year ago to be on the show. They range in age from 22 to 43 years. They will face many challenges as they strive to outdo each other for the good of others. The idea is to change lives in five days with the help of a lot of money and, of course, Harpo Productions.

Oh those earmarks! And I'm not talking about a bump on your lobe, or the lines your sunglasses make on the top of your ear. If President George W. Bush signs the Omnibus Bill this week, Second Harvest Food Bank is apt to get a $700,000 earmark.
