In case you missed it, our food program was featured in The Buffalo News during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Highlights from the article included the following quotes from Pastor Daryl Largis of The Chapel and Dr. Myron Glick of Jericho Road Community Health Center:
"We're not in the position to provide medical care for people infected with the disease, but we can do something, given the fact that we have resources and that we have people here." --Pastor Largis
"They [those under quarantine in Sierra Leone] are often going hungry or just getting the very basics, and it is a big problem. They become so hungry that in desperation they flee quarantine to look for food for themselves and their families." --Dr. Glick
"For a dollar, you can feed a family of four for dinner. That's the kind of economics that we're looking at." --Pastor Largis
