As a supporter of CAFB, I wonder if it's really necessary to publish the identities of people taking food assistance, especially the children?

Michael, Larry – I appreciate your point of view. I did speak with all the volunteers/clients and gained their OK before taking the picture (the little guy Trevor was with a volunteer). For those that appreciate and understand the work of CAFB, this is our organization at work. For the many I have met since my arrival to Austin 18 months ago that have adamantly expressed their belief that hunger does not exist in Central Texas – here’s proof.
