Reply #5: This Shouldn't Happen In A Country Of Any Means At All [View All]

Every service,volunteer group,church etc should be able to gather enough food on a regular basis to at least help food pantries temper the storm when regular donations become scarce. It's such a simple process. Most of us can go for a "two'fer". Every time you buy a box of noodles or can of soup pick up an extra. If you can get several friends to do the same thing in a month you can have a nice little donation. it's not much but the thing is every bit will count. This is the time for schools to get creative. They could come up with a "gimmick" like what would a thousand pounds or a thousand cans of something look like and let them start collecting it. We obviously cannot expect a government to help since they seem more obsessed with war then helping the hungry so we should be rolling up our sleeves and seeing what we can do. So many of us are just a couple paychecks from this stark reality. Many of us will be there with just one hospital visit or getting laid off. The time is now!
