Today is the second day of Thoughtful December and
we are focusing on our local food banks.
Did you know?
"In many ways, America is the land of plenty. But
for 1 in 6 people in the United States, hunger is a reality. Many people
believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets
of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but the
reality is much different.
Right now, millions of Americans are struggling with
hunger. These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who
simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several
meals, or even days.
It’s time to educate ourselves about the causes of
hunger in America."
Feeding
America is the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Their
mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food
banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger.
Here is a list of local food banks,
by state, where you can donate food:
Have a great Wednesday!
