Hunger may be as close as your neighbor or your coworker in the desk next to yours. Bare cupboards and empty stomachs look just like yours and mine behind closed doors. Food banks millions of people who struggle with putting food on the table. The reasons range from illness to job loss and a general change in circumstances, and it can happen to anyone of us.
Food banks fill the gap for those living on a tight budget. Many food banks offer educational opportunities that help people change their situation and begin anew. Often, those who have benefited from the programs return to volunteer and contribute to the very food bank that staved off hunger to do the same for others.
Help a neighbor, a friend, coworker or a child by making a donation. Volunteer at your local food bank. Food banks take nonperishable food items and cash donations every day. Check their needs list for the fresh items they are seeking.
