Give a Gift of Groceries

Christmas is over and the gifts have all been given and received, but there's one more gift you can give... and it will help feed people all year long.

Feeding America wants to fill 3.3 million bags of groceries to help feed hungry families. They need your help to reach their goal by December 31st. They still have 1,552,289 bags to fill and need to raise $390,000. A grant from Ameriprise Financial matches every $5.00 you give; it doubles to provide not just 10, but 20 bags of groceries. Let's help feed hungry people. It's only $5.00 and we can do it!!

If you want to support your local food bank to feed the families in your community, there's a food bank locator on their site.

Good post. Our church takes an obligation to fill a neighborhood food bank the two weeks before Christmas. This year it took a lot more effort than in the past.
