Our incredible food bank here in Kansas City, Harvesters , has a great challenge for all of us to consider. In order to focus on Hunger Awareness Week in June, the folks at Harvesters ask us to think about what it would be like to live a week on food stamps.
As they suggest, we may know what it’s like to have hunger pangs, but do we really know about the physical, emotional and social difficulties of poverty, food insecurity and hunger?
what a great effort from an inspiring local organization. i'll be doing this with a couple people to observe the cause.
i am constantly troubled (in addition to hunger) by the lack of access to healthy foods within this population. it's just sad. and wrong. and i respect those who are trying to educate on how to eat healthy on around two bucks a day. so much we take for granted. choice is such a blessing.
good post, mike.
