Something Delicious

[Sun]

Happy Monday Delicioustarians,

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day here in the states.

I am very aware today of how many in our nation are living within the poverty lines and how Rev King was very concerned about poverty and worked hard to raise awareness of such.

It troubles me on a deep level that so many are having difficulty putting food on the table in a nation that is so rich in so many ways. We have more than enough food here to make sure that all have enough to eat.

It troubles me also, that more than 50% of all homeless people in this nation are children.

So while we talk about food and all of the privilege of simply being able to eat a diversity of foods, I am always mindful of those who may go hungry today. I do my part in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, I have always donated food and solicited my vendors for food donations especially at holiday time, but the work is never done.

What I would love to see would be more people sharing a meal with a friend, neighbor, or dropping off a meal, even a cup of soup, to someone who may be hungry. Those little steps in kindness mean so much.

Have a beautiful day everyone.
