Help Americans Feed Their Children - Donate To A Good Cause - Page 2
"We have been around since 1979, and this is unprecedented in terms of need," Sellars said. "In Wilmington, the residents are proud and confused; they are resilient and trying to solve their problems on their own, but they don't know where to turn."
Feed the Children distributed the food and other items in conjunction with partners that include Avon Products and the local Sugartree Ministry Center.
Larry Jones, founder and president of Feed the Children, urged communities to reach out to one another.
"If we are going to solve the problem, it's not going to be the government; it's going to be churches and charities and colleges, literally everyone working together," Jones said. "We are not the total answer, but we are part of the answer, and hopefully when people see us doing what we are doing, they will join in to help."
He's right, we can't expect the government to do it all. Sometimes just know WHO to donate to is all people need. I just donated as much as I could to Feed The Children because they are helping RIGHT HERE in the U.S., in my state. My donation will feed seven families for a month. If all of us who can (and I realize some people just can't) would donate what we can afford, we can help real families.
I grew up not having much money and I remember how hard it was on my parents, but I was lucky, because I always had food and warm place to live. Unfortunately,I knew kids in my community who did not and that hurts to even imagine.
Please help if you can, it's tax deductible and you know where your money is going to.
Thanks!
