As we prepare for our feasts on Thanksgiving Day, it's worth a few minutes of our time to remember those who have little to eat. Hunger is still an issue, both in our neighborhood and around the world.
Tomorrow, November 22, the Bread for the World Institute (www.bread.org) is releasing its annual Hunger Report. The 2011 Hunger Report addresses the role of the United States in mobilizing global commitments to increase investments in agriculture, food security, and nutrition in developing countries. It will also include Christian Study Guide offering a variety of activities and Biblical themes to help users reflect on information included in the report. As part of your preparations for the day on which we recall what we are thankful for, please consider reading this report and taking some action to reduce hunger in the world.
The report will be available on the internet at www.hungerreport.org and available in hard-copy from the same web site.
