Food. Its what's for dinner

I read the Salt Lake Tribune online most days - or at least look at the headlines. In the last few months, there have been several articles on food pantries. Apparently, food pantries in the USA have received fewer donations this year while demand for food pantry services climbs in the midst of the recession.

Yesterday, I happened to drive by our local food pantry just before it opened. There was a long line of families on the pavement, with a number of mothers holding pre-school age children in their arms. This particular pantry has been holding a lot of food drives in an effort to meet the increasing need.

So chicken little's advice for today is to consider donating to your local food pantry. If you don't feel comfortable or able to give money, please consider a donation of non-perishable food items. Perhaps you've got some cans in your own pantry that you could give. Food. Its what's for dinner...
