HRN on Sandy - Hunger Relief from Bread & Life

We spoke to Anthony Butler of St. John's Bread & Life, an emergency food provider in Bed-Stuy.

The Mobile Soup Kitchen was dispatched in Brooklyn to provide food relief services to people, and they will continue providing emergency meals as long as the need remains.   "We have been in contact with the city to see if they could use our Mobile Soup Kitchen... we are available for any relief efforts that need to go out." --Anthony Butler, Executive Director of St. John's Bread & Life
