Rising food prices

In June of 2007 the price of corn went up to a record $4.00 a bushel, up from 2.00 earlier in the year (story here). In June 2008 corn is pushing $8.00 per bushel driving up food prices to all time highs(story here). Wheat prices have risen 110% along with rice. The cost of food continues to rise while consumer wages remain same.

Project E.A.T.

Project E.A.T. 's goal is to be sure everyone eats everyday. Kokomo Urban Outreach with the help of churches and organizations are providing food to the food insecure all across Kokomo. Our focus is on childhood hunger. KUO disburses food in a variety of ways---weekend backpacks full of food to weekly meals. This blog is designed to provide hunger awareness and to be a resource of appropriate ways to respond to it.

The logo on this page was designed by some children we serve. I asked them to draw a picture of a city with the sun going down to remind us that no one should go to bed without eating.
