The scandal of hunger in America activates elders along with high schoolers
admin November 9th, 2007
(Frances) There’s a special place in the middle of Massachusetts where elders study alongside college students and where high school students are invited in, too. Together, they’re working both to alleviate the pain of hunger in their community now and to “create a hunger-free community” tomorrow.
That place is Worcester State College, and I was lucky enough to get invited to speak there this week as part of a series called “Food for Thought.” My host was a professor whose last name captures her perfectly: Maureen Power, founder of the Intergenerational Urban Institute.
