Your Chance To Make Some Change

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I’m finishing up my Election analysis and will have it posted tomorrow.   In the meantime, here’s an opportunity for you to help someone in need.  If you voted for Obama because you wanted change for the better, here’s your chance.  If you voted for McCain because you believe the answer to problems lie in individuals and not governments, here’s your chance.

MAYOR BALLARD URGES ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES TO RESPOND TO CITY’S
GROWING NEED FOR FOOD DONATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS - (November 7, 2008) Today, Mayor Ballard made a call-to-action to local organizations and companies to urge them torespond to the City’s growing need for food donations.

Mayor Ballard was joined by representatives from local organizations and companies, including the Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Pacers, which have already committed to join in this effort.

“This year, it’s different. Our city, like the rest of the nation, is facing the challenges of an economic downturn,” said Mayor Ballard. “Our community food banks are beginning to see a drop in food donations at
the point when many of our neighbors are most in need. That’s why I’m calling on every business, every school, every church, every charitable organization, every agency of government, and every individual citizen
in Indianapolis to pack the pantries at our local food banks, beginning today.”

For more information on how you can help (including a full list of drop off locations and a ‘how-to’ kit, please call the Mayor’s Action Center at 327-4MAC or visit our Web site: www.indygov.org/mayor.

My election post will be here tomorrow.
