It’s not the holidays and it’s not a Sunday church collection, but it is important.
So you think we live in the land of plenty?
Before I became a narrow-minded, mean-spirited, ungenerous, self-preserving urbanite momzilla with kids, I had a heart.
I served food at Camillus House soup kitchens on Thanksgiving. I gave money to random homeless people. I cleaned the galley of the Sea Shepherd vessel, the Eco-Pirates of the Sea, to aid in their effort to wipe out whale poachers in Asiatic Seas.
Last year, more than 25 million Americans, including 9 million children and nearly 3 million seniors had to rely on emergency food services, according to Hunger in America.
That’s more than three times the population of New York City!
On Saturday, May 12, THE MOTHER OF ALL FOOD DRIVES on Mother's Day weekend, WILL TAKE PLACE. Letter carriers (MAILMEN) across the USA will collect non-perishable food donations as they deliver mail along their postal routes in a one-day effort to combat hunger in America.
Please help by placing canned meat, canned fish, soup, cereals, pasta, and rice, in a decent-sized and strong bag, near your mailbox on Saturday morning really early before your letter carrier arrives. Do not donate glass containers. Canned and box goods, preferably.
Won’t you start off your Mother’s Day weekend with the right attitude, male or female, and nurture through nutrition?
