Eggs Given to the Poor

"BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A Bloomington food bank has received a donation of about 65,000 eggs as part of a national push to assist people struggling with poverty.

Some of Indiana's egg farmers donated 5,400 cartons containing 64,800 Grade A, extra-large eggs earlier this month to the Hoosier Hills Food Bank.

Since then, more than half of the eggs have been snapped up by families in need.

Food bank executive director Julio Alonso says eggs aren't the kind of food that stays on the Bloomington-based food bank's shelves for very long." Indy Star

In light of Mayor Seybold's denial of poverty in this city, we have egg farmers who know the truth and do something about it. Instead of the denial and accusation tack the Mayor has taken against the down-trodden, these farmers give.

What a novel idea that would be for our local government to consider.
