Hey Everyone! As some of you know, September is Hunger Action Month "Give A Little, Feed A Lot." Some of you received an e-mail from me about the AR Foodbank Network in Little Rock. If you're looking for a great cause to support that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and truly want to make a difference in your own community, volunteer at one of your many local food pantries, soup kitchens or foodbanks. You will see just how many families in YOUR OWN AREA are in need of food.
With layoffs and pay cuts happening everyday, families and senior citizens everywhere are having to make extremely difficult decisions regarding billls, health care/insurance and food. For every dollar that is donated to your local foodbank, they are able to provide 5 meals for a family/ individual. You never know who around you will need help next...it might even be you! In life, there are always circumstances beyond our control.
I urge you to make it a point some time this month to take a look at the website of the Arkansas Foodbank Network (www.arkansasfoodbank.org) or your own local foodbank to see the statistics for your area. You'll be very surprised at what you learn!
