Not Enough To Eat...

There are so many children that may not have enough food to eat. Sometimes school breakfast and lunch are the only meals they eat. Most of the schools have adopted healthier meals and also offer a charging policy for students who may not have money to pay for lunch. Some schools even send fruits and vegetables home with the children for the weekend to ensure they are at least receiving healthy food at home.

At my church, if we know a child is not receiving enough to eat at home, we will usually talk to the parents to assess their needs. Next a referral can be made to a local food bank to help this family with food for the month. We will also give them vouchers to local grocery stores so they get some food. If they do not receive food stamps, we will also help them complete an application.

Instead of throwing leftover food away it can be given to families in your community who are in need. So many of us are blessed to have more then we need, it is important that we not take our blessings for granted!
