Did you know?
September is Hunger Action Month. *Check it out here!* There are several ways to get involved through writing letters, giving funds, or donating time at a food bank. There is even a link to ways children can help by writing to their congressmen. If your kids have never thought about these kinds of issues now is the time- we are living in a ME centered culture but we can choose to make ourselves aware of the needs of others and DO something, as well as raise kids that not only care about others but feel empowered to do something about the needs around them as well- while they are still kids!
Our school has a food donation barrel going all year long. Yes, it is so good to involve children and give them opportunities to reach out to others!!
