Chefs Cook To Feed Hunger  By: Elizabeth Donatelli By: Elizabeth
Donatelli  June 12, 2006  Many people in our area go hungry
everyday and one local organization feeds about 130 thousand
people every year.  The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is hosting
Taste This! where chefs donate their cooking skills to raise
money. A majority of their clients aren't homeless, but part of
the working poor who just can't afford all of their bills.
"There is a big gap between folks who's salary is not keeping up
with the cost of living at this point and they're having to make
the difficult choices between their utilities or their medical
care and providing food to their family and we're able to help
them out in that regard," said Ruth Worrell of the Blue Ridge
Area Food Bank Network.  The event is Tuesday, June 13 at 5:30
p.m. at Sponsors Hall. You can buy a ticket at the C-ville
Weekly, Greenberry's or the Market Street Wineshops for $35 in
advance or $40 at the door.
