Speaker Pelosi to Serve 35th Millionth Meal at St. Anthony Foundation

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 06, 2009 — Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a long time volunteer and supporter of St. Anthony's, will be at St. Anthony's on Sunday, February 8th to serve the organization's historic 35th million meal, with a press conference following. California State Senator Mark Leno will also be on hand to participate in the momentous event. With recent findings by the USDA that 35 million people (12 percent of Americans) could not put food on the table at least part of last year, and with a pending Economic Recovery Package that has passed in the House and is moving forward in the Senate, the Speaker's visit is both timely and appropriate.
