FEED SOMEONE

It is easy to feed the hungry. At my own church there is the opportunity to supply our own Food Pantry which is available for call ins and our own parishioners who are in need of food subsidy. Food banks abound and are always accepting donations. It is so easy to add a few extra things into our basket when we do the weekly grocery shopping.

If you want to make an even bigger donation to try to eliminate hunger in the world you can go to Episcopal Relief and Development and choose any number of ways to make a difference. And here's an even more challenging way to make a difference -- invite the corner panhandler to join you around the corner at the local diner. Look her in the eye, let him know that they are valued as people. Have I done this? -- not yet.
