This fall, taking part in the fight against hunger is as easy as shopping!
Thomas' Brand, ACME Markets, and Giant Food Stores have pledged a portion of Thomas' English Muffins, Bagels, and Swirl Bread products to help thousands of families put food on the table in our region through the Thomas' Nourishing Neighbors campaign.
The internet is full of “do-it-yourself” ideas that seem easy but turn out to be a frustrating exercise in patience. Not so however, with St. Mary’s Little Free Pantry, launched on September 10 in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
“Someone at our Sunday School teacher’s meeting saw it on the internet,” said Fr. Joseph Smith, pastor at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church. “We saw it, and we did it.”
The Coalition receives phone calls and emails each day from people who want to get involved in the fight against hunger. Most often, people look to volunteer at a local food pantry or soup kitchen. For these requests, we direct volunteers to our Food Pantry Map, which was recently updated and now includes more than 400 food pantries and soup kitchens, many of which could use volunteers to work a shift or serve a meal.
You have often heard us talk of our immediate, short-term and long-term relief efforts. At the moment, we can think of nowhere that needs more immediate relief than Southeastern Texas.
If you are reading this blog post, you most likely live in our region- Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware - and care about hunger. If, like us, you are looking for a way to help, consider making a donation to the Houston Food Bank.
No child should go hungry just because school is out.
Even as students prepare to go back to class, the Summer Meals program continues to operate through the end of this week.
Hundreds of sites are still open to provide free Summer Meals to kids and teenagers in our area. Sites can provide breakfast, lunch and snack.
