Joining us to talk about this impending food shortage on News Talk Online on Paltalk.com tomorrow, Wednesday October 15 will be WHY co-founder and executive director Bill Ayres (no, not Bill Ayers). Ayres, who has developed and implemented programs to combat hunger for more than two-decades, co-founded WHY with the late singer, Harry Chapin. He is also a board member of Long Island Cares, Long Island?s food bank. Ayres has also led local initiatives to promote ideas and policies that have made significant impacts upon the communities that they serve, including the creation of the New York Hunger Hotline in New York City and the Center for Food Action in New Jersey. Ayres, a radio and TV broadcaster for nearly three decades, hosts a weekly Sunday night radio show on WPLJ 95.5FM in New York. Through his work in communications Bill has developed extensive contacts in the world of media. He is the co-author of the book All You Need Is Love.

Programs In Place To Fight World Hunger But Are They Enough? The global economic crisis and the cost of distributing food are combining to send many people to food pantries for the first time. That according to World Hunger Year co-founder and president Bill Ayres, my guest today on News Talk Online on Paltalk.com. Locally grown food, Ayres says, by medium sized farms, can help obviate some of the problem. So can home and community gardens. Ayres says programs to feed the hungry vary from community to community and nation to nation. But he says the problem is increasing, both domestically and globally.
