knowing hunger
Tomorrow afternoon my family will be blessed with an abundance of amazing food as we celebrate Thanksgiving. We will eat until we can eat no more, and then we’ll consider going back for seconds. Dessert will come later, and we’ll feast on slices of pumpkin or pecan pie – or both – topped with sweet whipped cream. Tomorrow we will not know hunger.
There are so many out there for whom hunger is a part of every day life. In this country, more than 50 million people struggle to put food on their table each day. Their plates – and the plates of their children – are often empty.
This Thanksgiving, if the spirit moves you to do so, please consider making a donation to Share Our Strength. In this small way, you can help fill the empty plate of someone less fortunate.
Thanks to Jennifer for inspiring this post. Please read her post to see a list of other food bloggers participating in this cause.
