World Food Day is October 16…
The thought of anyone, let alone a child, going hungry puts a lump in my throat and ache in my heart.
This cannot be...when we live in communities where we always have leftovers and our question is not if we have food to feed our family but shall we order in or cook.
If you are in the Houston area, here are two organizations where you can help or receive assistance. For a larger list, please see Houston TX Free Food Resources.
