I will admit I do not have the blogging skills of Debe Maxwell or Jason Crouch but, I am going to give it a shot for a very worthy cause.
Tyson Foods has partnered with Share our Strength to Leave No Kid Hungry.
In our great country it is hard to believe that 1 out of 6 children are out there wondering where their next meal will come from. For those of you out there that are parents this is an unbearable thought.
We all know that with the present economic news and the situation in the world today it is easy to get lost in our own lives. But, what if there was something that you could do that would not cost you anything but a little time. Tyson Foods has pledged that for every 1,000 pledges they will send a TRUCKLOAD of food to a food bank in your community!
I am personally going to send this message to every member of my MLS board. We are well over several thousand strong and we should be able to rustle up a 1,000 signatures easy. I don't know about your area but, I know here in Greensboro our Second Harvest Food Bank would love to have a truck load of food for all those that need the help. Nothing stimulates good will as results. So with all the talk about stimulating the economy how about we stimulate good will and help a hungry child right here in our backyard.
While we stimulate the good will we can also help health care. Just imagine how much we will save when all of those at risk children have a health diet. Sounds like a pretty simple solution to alot of problems.
Hunger is counter productive to a healthy childhood you have more trips to the doctor and health clinics with stomach aches, headaches, ear infections, colds, and all sorts of other related illnesses that could have been avoided with a health diet.
So help out financially if you can if not just sign the pledge and get as many other people as you can to for the children.
