Hunger hurts - but MVH helps

MVH’s Scouting for food team (left to right) Mike Milinovich, pension and benefits coordinator, Doug Prentice, storeroom manager, and Tom Wilson, central escort supervisor, along with Jason Flowers, development coordinator, for the Boy Scouts of America’s Mon Valley Area, take a break from packing donated food and household items.

Have you ever been really hungry? Maybe you’ve been too busy to stop for a sandwich and you realized it when your stomach started to growl. When you eat some crackers from the vending machine or cupboard, they satisfy your appetite until you can have a real meal. Most of us have plenty of food, but there are thousands of people in this region who go to bed hungry — every night — because they have nothing to eat.

In April, employees, physicians, volunteers and visitors participated in the Boy Scouts’ annual Scouting for Food Campaign. MVH collected 10,016 units of food and household items for the people of the Mon Valley.

“By joining together to support Scouting for Food, we helped to give the hungry people in our area the nutrients they need today for a healthier tomorrow,” said Michael Milinovich, pension and benefits coordinator who also served as the coordinator of MVH’s campaign.

Bea Watson, a member of the MVH central scheduling department also volunteers at the Monongahela Food Bank. “All the workers and the food recipients want to express our thanks to all the employees who brought in food for the Scouting for Food Campaign,” she said. “In this time of great need, it is so nice to see so many people come to the aid of the less fortunate. We all, at times in our lives, may feel a need for help in some way or another and it’s great to know there are still people who will come to your aid! Thank you all again and God bless.”
