Teachers Speak Out About Hunger in the Classroom



I thought this was an interesting video, I remember when I lived in Virginia and was part of a ministry that reached out to several impoverished neighborhoods. The thing I remember most was the Christmas (2 week) vacation, a time where people should be the happiest but it was a time of concern for us. 
Thank God for school lunch programs that provided a free meal to a lot of these kids and in a many of cases their only meal of the day, now lets look at Christmas break again. We would go over to the neighborhoods once a week, feed, cloth, and minister to the kids and their families inside the local school bldg, but during the holidays we did our best to load them up with food and supplies because the school bldg would be closed and we were it for them until  when we returned (in 2 weeks). 
Folks this is a real problem that needs real action, effective action, start your own hunger awareness program, food drive, donation collection, work with local organizations, volunteer with us...do something! A simple way to get involved is to do all your internet shopping through our mall or download our shopping wizard. The rebates from the stores go to fight hunger in Oklahoma with no additional cost to you and you're making a difference.
