| Hunger Awareness Happy Hour |
|
With a $10 donation or contribution of canned goods, attendees were offered a free drink at the bar. Twenty-two JLGNH members and their friends and family were in attendance and had a great time while supporting a good cause. The committee collected more than 15 bags of food and raised $505 for the Connecticut Food Bank! According to the Connecticut Food Bank, $5 can provide 18 meals to Connecticut families in need, so the money collected at the Hunger Awareness Happy Hour can be used towards 1,818 meals! See below for some pics from the evening:

To celebrate Hunger Action Month and to support our community partner the Connecticut Food Bank, the Junior League's own Hunger Awareness Committee held a Happy Hour on September 29, 2009 at Lansdowne Bar & Grill in downtown New Haven.
