The donation will come in the form of 1.1 billion pounds of food from Wal-Mart stores, distribution centers and Sam’s Club locations (valued at $1.75 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[March 16, 2010 Today, as I watched a screening of Josh Fox&#8217;s documentary GasLand, about natural gas extraction by means of a hydraulic drilling process called &#8220;fracking,&#8221; it struck me just how often we allow short-term greed to stand in the way of what is best for everyone over the long term.

		<description><![CDATA[Day 91–Oct. 2 (Hiram, OH – Aurora, OH, 11.1 miles) Poverty. It is a word no one likes to hear. It is not something we want to acknowledge exists in a country as wealthy as the United States. But far too many times when I tell people I&#8217;m walking for poverty and homelessness I&#8217;m told [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Day 87–Sept. 28 (New Castle, PA – Youngstown, OH, 17.3 miles) Absent from many discussions of affordable housing are a few realities. First, much of &#8220;affordable&#8221; housing is substandard, owned by slum lords who charge too high a rent payment for poor quality housing.
