Well, the results are tallied and the organizers met their goal.  November 12th and 13th saw the "Put The Fork in Hunger" folks meet their 5 tons of food goal just shy of 4PM on Sunday.  All of these donations were turned over to the Union Station Homeless Services for distribution to needy families. 

So thanks to all of those who participated - detailed lists should be up on the Facebook page soon.
