This issue has been weighing heavy on my heart and have been wanting to get started doing something about it.

If you have any other ways I can help in Al I would love some info on that. |

| Why: | Hunger everywhere should be important to everyone. The fact that necessities such as food aren't available to so many people is a major problem. So many know where every mean will come from and have a surplus of food, which is great, but we have to stop and think about those who aren't as fortunate as we are. We overlook the fact that many Americans can't simply walk to their fridge and grab a snack like we can. |

It's good to help all over the world but we need to help the ones that are in our back yard first. Help adults to help their children also when they are hungry and don't take car of themselves this is how disease and an epidemic can start. No more dying! |

| Why: | There is no reason any one should live hungry. We have enough resources to feed everyone, but there is so much waste and greed, and many would rather argue about why people are hungry than do something to change it. If people's basic needs for clothing, shelter, food, and water are not met, and all their energy id used just trying to accomplish that much, then how can anyone expect someone to participate in society? Too much energy is wasted on judging the problem rather than solving it. |

| Why: | Hunger in America is important to me because food provides the nutrients needed for our bodies to function. Without food, our bodies do not function at optimal levels. The children are our future, and I would like to see that they have access to the necessary tools to help them advance as far as they can in life. Those children that are hungry, no matter the circumstance, should not have to do without. Everyone should be able to have access to the help that they need, especially children. Children are not able to fend for themselves, for the most part. It is horrible that there are so many that have to do without right now. |
