Patti J. is a new favorite friend of FBR's. She and her husband live in Littleton and are long time supporters of FBR. Patti entered a contest in April, sponsored by Harlequin Books and author, Debbie Macomber. Debbie's newly released novel, Hannah's List, is all about second chances.
The contest asked entrants to compose an essay of 100 words or less about second chances. This is national contest and we're proud to say Patti's essay was selected as one of the final ten. Now the public has been asked to log on and vote for their favorite essay. The contest ends on July 4th and the winner receives a prize of $10,000.00. Patti has chosen to generously donate her earnings to winnings for us!!!!!!!!! This isn't a requirement folks. This is Patti's choice.
Patti was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in 2007 and was given three months to live. That was 2.5 years ago and she's still going strong most days. Pattie tell us that she has already been given her second chance. So, in her essay, she promised to donate her winnings ($10k) to her local food bank so children and adults will have food on their tables, not go to bed hungry, and get the second chance we all deserve.
Patti needs votes to ensure $10,000 (40,000 meals) will be granted to FBR! How can you vote for Patti?
*Visit http://www.hannahslist.com/ and fill in all the fields to register.

For More Hunger Bytes...
There's a lot that goes into our world of fighting hunger and feeding hope. We couldn't have distributed near 36 million pounds of food last year without the thousands of people who donate time, funds, food and event organization on our behalf.
Throughout the year, there's a continuous schedule of events, promotions, food drives etc. that happen around our service area. The dedication and hard work that happens behind the scenes often goes overlooked. As do the faces of hunger - those who you come across every day who silently suffer and wonder where their next meal will come from.
Thus the origination of this FBR blog...we want to highlight stories of your neighbors who utilize the services of our nearly 1,000 hunger relief partner agencies. We also want to highlight the activies that you might not hear about otherwise and give you sneak peaks into the FBR world!
Thanks for visiting. Check back for updates!
