..and I haven’t even come close. My parents always made sure we had more than enough food (even if it was meat loaf or split pea soup and I ended up at the supper table all night trying to finish-small bite, sip of water, small bite, sip of water, until it was gone). And thankfully, Jonathan and I have enough money to ensure that we not only have food everyday, but it’s pretty good, fresh and delicious food. Tomorrow is National Stamp out Hunger Day. Your postal carrier will pick up non-perishable food items when delivering your mail. Please, leave what you can. If you can’t leave anything, know that we’re doing it because I can’t think of any reason for someone to go hungry in America-the very thought of our neighbors struggling troubles me greatly. My pantry is full, how about yours? I’m sure there’s a box of pasta or a can of soup you can spare.

In our area, the donations will go to Food Lifeline if you’re interested in learning more, just click their name. If you forget to leave some food by the mailbox, I’m quite certain they’ll take an online donation. If you work for Microsoft I’m confident they’ll match that gift.
