Silent No More

The headline in a national news magazine last week was “The Return of the Silent Majority”. It certainly raises the question of where that majority has been since the label was first coined many years ago.

Today, the vocal minority of left and right seem to get all the attention. Even the presi-dential candidates seem to be talking more to “them” than to “us”. And their simple ideas of more or less government don’t seem, in and of themselves, to resonate as an effective answer to very complex issues. Most of us are considered the “silent majority”. While our actions may have been strong and consistent, our voices have rarely been heard.

Many years ago I was silent, but things changed, and I wasn’t anymore. After returning from Viet-nam, and finding a country in turmoil around race, the war, and a different future that young people wanted for themselves, I person-ally got involved trying to find and raise my own voice toward justice.

Today, we see young – and not so young – people trying to find their voice around what is just and fair. It’s often emotional, unfocused, and exploding on our streets and in the political process. After three years of high unemployment, no growth, and an unwillingness of our policy-makers to find a middle ground, many people have lost trust in large institutions – big government, big business, the media, and even the faith community. There is a feeling that something is very seriously wrong, and no one is listening. It has motivated a number of grass-root movements to spring up across the country, and even across the world.

Today, the Tea Party’s rallying cry is smaller

government, fewer regulations, lower taxes, and major budget cuts. Let the free market roam – every person for him or herself. At the same time, Occupy Wall Street has spread across the country with the cry to address the dramatically growing gap between the rich and the shrinking middle class, especially the working poor. They want more oversight to keep big banks, board rooms, and corpora-tions in check. They want more justice and more certainty, which translates to more government.

And the traditionally slow processes that operate out of partisan politics are increas-ingly being rejected. Is there a middle way?

Can we find common interests across political differences? Where does the silent majority look for models of cooperation and effective action?

Many people choose to take action to help make things better. Action, it turns out, is the antidote to despair. While some see no alternatives except protesting in the streets, others see the simple act of feeding another person, of listening to their stories, of raising their spirits, as a reason to keep

moving forward. Acts like these are taking place in communities across America. While they rarely make the news – being drowned out by a media that relishes conflict over cooperation – they represent the values and commitments so needed today.

If we took stock of the goodness these actions represent, we may surprise ourselves. Goodness growing out of hardship. It’s an old story, but expressed in new and creative ways. Clarity of purpose and commitment to action counters blame and frustration.

3

Sometimes it takes an unforeseen emergency to get our attention in an over stimulated life full of easy answers and empty promises. Until the silent majority comes to grips with the questions of our day, I don’t think easy answers being promised by our politicians – answers requiring little sacrifice from us – will ever satisfy the longing for a more just society.

It’s not the first time we have faced such uncertainty as a country. Periodically, we face a time of truth, a pivotal moment, and therein lies an opportunity. I think we are facing one of those moments today. We must pay attention to those things that connect people and build trust, that motivate creativity and shared action. We must nurture democratic action that encourages participation instead of fear and cynicism. Our policies must follow our ideals, and our actions must reflect our deepest beliefs.

How we grow, distribute, prepare, share, and enjoy our food can be a catalyst for change. This means that anyone can play a role in fighting hunger. Our calls to action are very clear, measurable, and potentially impactful. When we take action, and let our voices be heard, it multiplies the impact of our work. Often, the actions we take actually require that we use our voices.

Some of us can advocate for hunger programs in the new Farm Bill that will soon be taken up by Congress. In a time when families and children are experiencing hunger in greater numbers than anytime since the Great Depression, do we really want to cut nutrition programs? You can get involved and speak up.

Some of us can join in the No Kid Hungry Campaign to be announced by Governor Deal later this month. It focuses on getting nutrition programs working more effectively, but will take a public-private partnership to ensure success. It’s a way we can stop leaving money on the table and children hungry in

their homes. You can get involved and share your ideas.

Some of us can volunteer at a local hunger relief organization or at the Food Bank. Volunteering not only strengthens community, but makes it healthier and more empowered. You can get involved and spread the word to family and friends.

Some of us can help educate our young people, our policy makers, our business and faith communities on their role in fighting hunger. The Food Bank has a Hunger 101 curriculum and teaching guides to support your work. You can get involved and help others learn.

Some of us can write, and have a special talent in communicating via social networks. You can get involved and post or blog about issues that matter.

At the end of the day, hunger is a moral issue for all of us. We must honor our elders by ensuring they have adequate food. We must help struggling families access enough nutritious food for their children. One of the most important ways to safeguard the health of our nation is to commit that no one goes hungry. We’re at the tip of the iceberg. Not paying attention to the issue of hunger will surely sink our ship of state. If our children’s health, ability to learn, and sense of self-worth is compromised much further, our country will be headed down a devastating road. We should be very concerned, and our voices should be raised.

Maybe the majority of us have been silent too long. It’s not that our actions have been wrong; it’s that we have not shared the lessons learned and demanded a middle way that includes all of us. Our response is an opportunity to find common ground and common solutions, to be leaders instead of silent followers. But it won’t be easy. Nothing of real value ever is.

The Atlanta Community Food Bank supports more than 700 local non-profit organizations with hunger-relief programs. Food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shel-ters and senior centers are among the agencies that receive product from the Food Bank and provide food and other critical resources for low-income Geor-gians who suffer from hunger and food insecurity. The Food Bank also operates several community projects to aid our agencies in community building, techni-cal assistance and advocacy efforts.

Agency of the QuarterCatedral De Fe Church of GodMinisterio Café Community Center

Once a month, members and volun-teers from Catedral De Fe Church of God and its Ministerio Café Community Center gather at the church to distribute food at a mobile food pantry to approxi-mately 200 families in need. This is just one of the many ways that the church is helping its community.

Eleven years ago, Evelin Zaldana,

program director for the community center, saw that families were struggling in her community. She decided one way to help was to begin offering food assis-tance. At first all they had to offer was a loaf of bread, but week by week a new item was added. In addition to the mo-bile pantry, the church runs a traditional

To learn more about Atlanta Community Food Bank partner agencies, visit ACFB.org.

The food pantry at Catedral De Fe Church of God is open each Friday at 9:00 a.m.They are located at 675 Buford Drive, Lawrenceville, GA 30045.For more information or to make an appointment, call 770.962.9624.

food pantry. In all, approximately 1,500 families are served each month.

“I have a passion for helping the families in our community,” said Evelin. “I want to make sure they are not only receiving a box of food, but also have someone to speak to them about hope.”

Evelin tells of a time when a gentle-man came into the Center in desperate

need of help. He was out of work and on the verge of being evicted from the apartment he shared with his family of five. So moved by his inability to take care of his family, he cried right there in front of them. “It was so hard to see this man cry because he didn’t even have food to give his children and

was not yet receiving food stamps,” said Evelin. “I was so glad he came to us seeking assistance.”

Every day they see families in this same situation. “Our hearts rejoice knowing we’ve been able to help and provide a little hope when we see them smile as they leave with that box of food.”

Other forms of support are offered as well, such as a bill assistance program, youth outreach, and educational services, including basic computer skills classes. “The biggest need our clients have is to be able to obtain a job in order to pay the mortgage and rent,” said Evelin. “Second is to be able to feed their family each and every day. We currently serve about 1,500 families per month and the number is continuously growing.”

With the holidays just around the cor-ner, Ministerio Café Community Center is planning for the special Thanksgiving and Christmas meal boxes they give away each year. They also host a toy dis-tribution for the children in the commu-nity. Evelin looks forward to the smiles she will see on the faces of the children. Last year, they were able to give away 4,000 toys making the holiday special for many kids who might not otherwise have gotten a gift.

Evelin is glad for the partnership with the Food Bank. “Thanks to the Food Bank we are able to serve 1,500 plus families in our community.”

Volunteers from Catedral De Fe Church of God Ministerio Café Community Center help distribute food to families in need at their October mobile food pantry.

Volunteer of the Quarter

Some volunteers like to be right in the thick of things, directly touching those who benefit from the work being done, but not Paul Hargaden. He prefers to be a behind-the-scenes guy, quietly helping to get the work done. That’s why he loves working in the Atlanta Community Food Bank’s Product Rescue Center (PRC) helping to sort and pack food boxes for more than 700 Food Bank partner agencies.

Paul first volunteered with the Food Bank with his church group while he was in school at Georgia Tech. That was dur-ing the early years when the organization was still working out of the basement of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Two and a half years ago he decided to get involved again, and now volunteers so often he’s practically part of the PRC staff! His commitment goes a bit deeper than helping those in need. “I enjoy helping out, not only the ultimate customers of the Food Bank – those people who end up with our boxes of food – but also the other volunteers and staff, to try to keep everything flowing smoothly and thus get more food ready for those in need,” said Paul.

During the holiday season, we all think more about helping others, but Paul was shown through the actions of his parents while growing up, that lending a hand is a natural part of everyday life. “Helping out was always just something that happened and was somewhat expected,” said Paul. “Whether that was helping a family friend move, or assisting with an activity at church or other civic group, if my parents were going to be involved with it, I almost always was included and was put to work in some fashion.” That work ethic certainly shows in all he does in the PRC.

Paul Hargaden

“Paul is someone we can always count on,” said Rodney Benn, manager of the PRC. “He comes in every Thursday and sometimes even on the days he isn’t scheduled. Paul’s hard work and dedication to the Food Bank means a great deal to the PRC staff. Once he even stepped in and helped run a shift when we were shorthanded and the shift would have other-wise been cancelled.”

The PRC staff makes sorting and packing food fun, and that’s one reason volunteers tell us they want to keep coming back. Paul is no different. “It’s the people…the regular volun-teers and the staff, both in the PRC and the rest of the ACFB,” said Paul when asked what makes him volunteer regularly with the ACFB. “It’s a great crew and they are fun to work and spend time with.”

We’re pleased to announce that the Food Bank

recently launched its new blog! So far, a wide range of topics have been featured: events that benefit the Food Bank like our Simple Abundance Cooking Classes and Supper Club hosted by a different restaurant each month, ACFB partner agencies who serve people in need, new initiatives such as our mobile food pan-tries, and much more. We hope the blog will not only serve as a unique avenue for you to stay informed about ways you can get involved, but also as a forum for dis-cussion about the issues of hunger and poverty.

For more information, please contact Cicely Garrett, VITA Program Manager, at 678-553-5982 or volapc@acfb.org. Or, visit www.atlantaprosperity.org/volunteer.

“We realized the need for a blog ear-lier this year,” said Allison Young, the Food Bank’s Online Community Build-er. “It gives us a chance to update peo-ple about what’s happening at the Food Bank in between issues of Foodshar-ing. And since we’re not limited to 140 or 500 characters like we are on Twit-ter and Facebook, we can go in depth about the stories we’re telling.” She’s excited about the blog because it’s also an outlet for sharing the stories we hear from constituents and partner agencies. “We want our readers to be able to con-nect with the blog and share their own voices.”

As we move along with the blog, you

can expect to hear from a variety of people - volunteers, donors, and even those whose lives have been changed because of the help they’ve received. If something you’ve read speaks to you, we hope you’ll jump in and respond with a comment. Did you participate in a Simple Abundance class? Let us know what you thought about it!

Our Biggest JoyDeumelia Atehortua de Morales and Manuel Morales

celebrated 51 years of marriage on October 1, 2011. What made the occasion even more special was getting to enjoy it with their daughters, Martha and Victoria, son-in-law Jose, grandchildren Manuel, Emiliano and Eliana, and family friends, Gloria and Mauricio. The couple recently moved to Georgia from Cali, Colombia to be with their family and help with the grandchildren. They live with Martha and Jose, who gave up their bedroom so her parents could have the best room in the house. “They are the most important people in the family, and we want them to feel that, and they do,” said Martha. “It’s my love for them. Our biggest joy is to make them happy.” Martha and Victoria both leave for their jobs early each morning, so Deumelia and Manuel help see the kids off to school and care for them after school as well. Martha’s best friend, Gloria, often takes the couple on errands or to the doctor, and is like a daughter to them. “We’ve been taught,” said Gloria, “the biggest riches you could have in life – more than money, more than anything – is family.”

Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry, Inc.Members of each of our featured families are recipients of the Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry, Inc., one of the 700 partner agencies that receive food from the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The co-op provides one week’s supply of food once a month for approximately 1,000 families who need help supplementing their groceries. Co-op clients get to choose from a list of available food items, and are always welcome to jump in and lend a helping hand. For more information, visit lawrencevilleco-op.org or call 770-339-7887.

Always There for MeImmacula Francois-Mack and Flore Francois-Jermaine

are sisters who moved with their family from Haiti to New York when they were girls. When Immacula got married and moved to Georgia, she missed her sister terribly. Flore came to live here three years ago after some persistent convincing. “I’ve always been a family oriented person,” said Immacula. “My husband worked 14 hour days. I was lonely!” Flore is still adjusting to life in Georgia, but said her sister goes out of her way to visit or help. “I can’t just hop on the subway anymore like I could in New York, but she takes me wherever I need to go.” Lately, one of the sisters’ favorite places to go together is Bethesda Park Aquatic Center where they take water aerobics and water Zumba classes. “She loves Spanish music, so I knew she would love Zumba,” said Immacula. Flore has noticed a big difference since they started going. “It was hard to get to the mailbox before, but now I can walk the whole mall!” Immacula described Flore as a second mother. “I’m happy to take care of some of her burdens. She was always there for me.”

Neighbors Helping NeighborsBarbara Cannon is a grandmother and retired nurse from

California who loves to send text messages. “Thank the Lord for text! It helps me stay in touch with my kids and grandkids.” Whether by text, phone or in-person, Barbara thrives on interacting with others. During her 10 years living in a Law-renceville Housing Authority community on Maltbie Street, she became resident manager, and estimates she has sent over 40 neighbors to the Lawrenceville Co-op for food assistance, in many cases driving them there herself. “Word got around that I would take them. I didn’t mind.” Now that Barbara has moved and is unable to drive, others are coming to her aid, bringing her meals and taking her to church. One of those people is her granddaughter, Shamika Brock. “I love spending time with my grandmother,” said Shamika, who comes to help every day. “She calls me in the evening, and we’ll pray together. I can’t go to bed without hearing her voice.” Shamika lives on Maltbie now and helps her neighbors like her grandmother did. She couldn’t help adding that her grandmother is pretty savvy with texting. “She sends the longest, sweetest texts!”

“Sometimes we just need to bereminded that we’re not alone.”

- Bennie Boyd, Director of Social Ministry, Greenforest Community Baptist Church
