It’s sad to think there are 16 million children who are struggling with hunger. If you think about it, that is the population of Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City combined! WOW, when you think about it like that, it makes it even harder handle. I don’t know what I would do if my children were hungry, and I am extremely thankful we’re in the boat we are, because I know things could change in a matter of days. Be thankful for today, because we just don’t know what tomorrow holds. My husband and I agreed several years ago that we would do what we could to help others – donate money, time, food, gifts, and anything else we can think of. We both grew up with great families, but our parent’s struggled. So helping families in need is something we both do because we have been there, not only has children, but remember seeing how hard it was on our parents. Being children, we didn’t understand, but as adults looking back we’re better able to understand.
Stop Child Hunger In America & Share A Meal
How many people live in your neighborhood? How many of those families have children?
The fact of the matter is that children are hungry, and hunger in America doesn’t discriminate. These children can live in suburban, rural, and urban areas. With 1 in 5 children unsure where they will get their next meal, there could be hungry children in your neighborhood, and they could even be some of the children your child plays with after school. It’s sad, and I’m sure if you knew a child in your neighborhood was hungry you would feed him, but the fact is we don’t always know.
