With the economy in its current state, food banks have seen a 30% increase in demand. Over 49 million Americans are at risk of hunger. So what can we do to help?
This Saturday (5/8) is Stamp Out Hunger 2010. Simply place non-perishable food products a bag, and leave the bag at your mail box on Saturday. Your letter carrier will then pick up the bags, and they will be delivered to your local food bank or pantry.
You can get more information on the Stamp Out Hunger website, or you can Like Stamp Out Hunger on Facebook to get the latest updates.
Thanks for posting this. Count me in… I’m gathering things from my pantry in hopes to help in whatever small way I can. It sounds like a really good cause that will help many people.
That’s great, Susan! I figured everyone would have a few canned goods or dry goods that they could share. It’s funny how much we can find when we really look!
