Wildes & Weinberg, P.C. Senior Partner Leon Wildes and Managing
Partner Michael Wildes enjoy lunch with Raymond Passero, winner of The
Immigration Package that was auctioned off at the WhyHunger event in
January, 2014.
WhyHunger
(www.whyhunger.org) is a non-profit organization working to end hunger
and poverty by connecting people to nutritious, affordable food and by
supporting grassroots solutions that inspire self-reliance and community
empowerment.
On both a domestic and
international level, the number of people experiencing food insecurity,
meaning that they go without food and/ or need to rely from time to time
on emergency sources, or that face hunger on a daily basis as a result
of living at or below the poverty line is increasing exponentially.
Research shows that people who do not consume the minimum amount of
calories needed for sound health and growth also experience higher
levels of chronic illness, anxiety, and depression.
This
past January, Raymond Passero was the lucky winner of the Immigration
Package which included a one-hour consultation with Leon and Michael Wildes Esq, who is also a Board Member of WhyHunger, as well as an iconic
photo of John Lennon after he was granted permission to stay in New
York. The photo was signed by Leon who successfully represented former
Beatle John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, in their widely publicized
deportation proceedings, the circumstances of which have inspired
several films, documentaries, and a multitude of written works. The
photograph was taken by acclaimed photographer Bob Gruen, also a client
of Wildes & Weinberg.
This donation item is just another example of the firm’s commitment to community service and social action.
