While it is good news that the Administration will use emergency funds to provide supplemental food assistance to the poor it is unclear how soon those funds will be provided and the funding is only partial. This means that people in our community will be hungry. I ask you that you consider fasting one meal a week and giving the money that you would have spent to a local food bank or to the Discretionary Fund. In Baldwin County over 20,000 people rely on food assistance. They are elderly people whose Social Security is not adequate to cover medical and living expenses. They are people with physical disabilities. They are families with children. It is possible, even likely, that you know someone who relies on food assistance. In the gospel according to Matthew (chapter 25) Jesus tells us that feeding the hungry is our obligation. I hope you will join me in following Jesus' command. BN
