Joe has always deeply admired the tireless work done by the folks at the Preble Street organization, and is proud to promote their Maine Hunger Initiative (click here for more info) on the Time/Temp. This week's message serves as a reminder to those of us who never have to worry about trying to fall asleep with an empty stomach that not everyone in our dear State enjoys such privileges. It's important that we remain aware of the hardships faced by our fellow Mainers, and do what we can to offer them a helping hand. In the sage words of Bruce Springsteen, "we take care of our own."

If you have a few spare hours, Preble Street always welcomes community volunteers, and if you have the means, a donation is always appreciated too.
