Committee Chairmen at Youth Center, Crusade for Children, Mr. Bryant for Leonard Hunting. The United Nations sponsored a Crusade for Children. The organizing committee distributed calorie coupons among the city's clubs, labor unions, P.T.A. groups and churches. The coupons were sold by the organizations to individuals. Proceeds from the sale were used for emergency mass feeding of starving, homeless children of war-torn lands by 28 established overseas relief agencies under the leadership of the United Nations. The group met at the Tacoma Youth Center. (T.Times, 5/1/1948, -.7)
