While the country is in a state of major economic meltdown, there are still plenty of other crises that warrant our attention and support. Remember Hurricane Ike that pummeled parts of Louisiana and Texas recently? The aftermath is devastating for many communities who continue to lack basic resources, such as Food. Yes, food. Despite the overstocked shelves in grocery stores from Maine to Washington, there are plenty of people who have nothing left and need your help. Please help Feeding America, formerly known as America’s Second Harvest, to address this immediate concern by providing financial support to them now. In a nation that is so divided by the hotly contested political race and so broken by the economic crisis, Feeding America reminds us of our humanity and the need for us to extend beyond our comfortable boundaries to support all Americans in dire situations. takepart with Feeding America (Photo: Feeding America)
