HUNGER IS ALL AROUND YOU, EVERY DAY…

BUT THIS THURSDAY, THERE’S NO WAY YOU CAN MISS IT!
With Governor Jan Brewer having proclaimed September as “Hunger Action Month” in the state of Arizona, the largest and brightest reminder of the hunger issue in Arizona will come on Thursday, Sept. 22 when the 40-story Chase Tower – Arizona’s tallest building – will glow orange for all downtown Phoenix to see.

As part of Feeding America national Light Up Hunger initiative, prominent buildings and landmarks across the country will be lit up orange – the color of hunger – during Hunger Action Month. The 483-foot Chase Tower will now join the Jeweler’s Building in Chicago, the Illinois State Capitol Building, the PECO building in Philadelphia and Ferris Wheel known as Big Eli in Ft. Smith Arkansas in lighting up orange to remind everyone that more than 1.4 million Arizonans are facing hunger on a daily basis.
So if you’re in or driving past downtown Phoenix on Thursday and you see that orange glow dominating the Phoenix skyline – think hunger and thank Chase!
