Hunger In America


Feeding America should be the main job of the faith based community but unfortuntly in most of the USA it is only at Christmas time that the faith based community really plays a part. There for it is left to others to try to make up the differnce.



People should know and understand that there are eleven more months to the year and that hungry and homeless people need help all of the year not just at Christmas time.



It is also really sad that we have as many hungry people as we do in a country that is rich as the USA. Over all there are said to be 38 million hungry people in America and 14 million of them are children. How can this be in this country and you know I have not heard one of the presidential canidates mention hunger yet. How can this be. They should forget all the political in fighting that goes on and focus instead on the hungry , the homeless and people with no health insurance.

Feeding America

A great many Americans are forced to choose between paying the house rent or buying food. Or buying medicine or buying food. Hunger is very real. Most likely there are hungry people including children with in a few miles of where you live. You may be able to walk in the kitchen and make a sandwich but a lot of Americans can't.



And huge amounts of food goes to waste because greedy corporations like Walmart chooses to throw food away in dumpsters instead of giving it to organizations that would use the food to feed hungry people.


Loving God, in your grace you have gathered us at this time and in


this place to hear the word you are speaking this day in the voice of people

who are hungry and poor. Open our hearts and minds to the power of

that word. May we see with your eyes the vision of a world that knows no

borders, no boundaries, no fear, but invites us again to live together the

promise of abundance which is both your gift and your promise. We ask

this in the name of your Son, who lives and reigns united in the love of your

Holy Spirit, now and always. Amen.
