Why it’s worth it

Today was a great reminder of why I do what I do. Today we had a great time in a low income neighborhood feeding children and the less fortunate in this small community in Thomasville. As we watched the children and adults come forward they were truly thankful to have the simple meal of a hot dog, chips, and a bottle of cold water. As I talked to one young man this morning he described that he had not eaten since the free lunch that he received at school on Friday. As I stood there and talked with the young man he ate 4 plates of food and asked to take some home to his brother. When I have these conversations with young children, I am reminded of how fortunate I am that we can help these situations. In just a few months we will be opening a Kids Café to feed this neighborhood every day. Children in this county should never face the issue of hunger when we throw away 97 billion pounds of food each year in this country each year.
