LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger upon
the occasion of hosting its 2012 Planter Award Dinner on June 14, 2012

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that the
quality and character of life in the communities of New York State are
reflective of the concerned and dedicated efforts of organizations and
individuals who devote themselves to the welfare of the community and
its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger upon the occasion of hosting its 2012
Planter Award Dinner on June 14, 2012, to raise awareness of the preva-
lence of hunger in New York City communities; and
WHEREAS, This fine event will take place at Giando on the Water,
Brooklyn, New York; and
WHEREAS, Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger (BSCAH) was established in
1998 to holistically serve the growing number of families facing hunger
and, recognizing and understanding that the fight to end hunger extends
beyond canned goods, BSCAH not only distributes food, it empowers fami-
lies, providing information and supportive services which will give both
strength and dignity to the community; and
WHEREAS, BSCAH continues to serve many individuals monthly at its
SuperPantry, located in the heart of the Bedford Stuyvesant community of
Brooklyn; the number of clients it serves continues to grow and, trag-
ically, each day it serves more and more people in dire need; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when organiza-
tions and individuals who have faithfully served the needs of their
community with diligence and compassionate commitment to improving the
quality and dignity of life in the community are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
the great State of New York; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger upon the occasion of hosting
its 2012 Planter Award Dinner on June 14, 2012; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to Bed-Stuy Campaign Against Hunger.
