Food and Hunger: A Small Effort with Love #BAD11

A few days ago I was watching Jon Stewart. He was talking about human rights which are granted by the government and billed as "God given rights." His comment which struck me was: "Come on.  If God was giving out rights, wouldn't he say things like, the right to enough to eat?" 

As we all know many people do not have enough to eat. Yes, all around the world but also in our own communities. Our own community is where we live and where we have the best chance of doing something about it. It does not even have to be a major effort. If we all do something small and with love it will make a difference.

I am a gardener. My garden always produces much more food than my family can eat or preserve. I take the excess to the local Probation and Parole office where it is free for the taking. Having worked as a Probation and Parole Officer I know the need for food of many of the offenders living in our community. It is not much but its a little effort done with love. 

So what else can we do in our community? 

• Food banks are running low, donate to them. 
• Volunteer to help out at a local food pantry. 
• Become a Meals on Wheels volunteer. 
• Don't throw food away. If you have too much, share it. Chances are you know someone who needs it. 

If we all make a little effort, together we can have a big impact.

Going Hungry in America #BAD11

This morning 1 in 6 Americans wakes up not knowing if they will have the food they need.  

The recession has pushed 2.4 million more American children into poverty.  17 million American children are food insecure.  1 in 4 American children do not have enough food.    Before the recession there were 26 million Americans on food stamps;  today there are more than 46 million.  That translates to 1 in 7 Americans.
