Now more than ever, we need to take actions on the anti-hunger front. Here are a few things you can do.
• Submit a poem. We’ll consider it for possible posting on the website. See the Submission Guidelines here.
• Volunteer. Pitch in and help at a local Food Bank, Soup Kitchen or other anti-hunger program. If you need to find such a group in your area, just Google your community’s name and “food bank” or “soup kitchen.”
• Donate. There are so many worthy anti-hunger organizations near you, in your country and around the world that will welcome your donation. Just check with Google with ”Hunger.” If you live in the U.S., your donation is likely tax deductible.
• Write to Elected Officials. Let them know that you live and vote in their area, and that you are concerned about the rising rates of hunger in your region. Ask them to support legislation that helps address hunger, and to oppose legislation that cuts such support.
• Learn about Hunger – Sadly, information about hunger is all too abundant – because hunger is everywhere. If you want to learn more about the extent of hunger in your area or in your country or around the world, use Google to find relevant links. There’s also information about historical hunger on the web. And, if you want to stay updated, consider signing up for e- newsletters from the many, many groups focused on hunger, agriculture, nutrition, food justice and other relevant topics.
