One of the radio stations here do a huge drive each year to raise money for this cause.I don't know what the amount was they raised this year, but last year I know it was over $10,000 ! What's sad is that it seems the more money is raised, the more kids need help.I don't dog people for helping those with similar causes in other countries, but so many people forget that this is going on here too, right in our own back yard! Yes, a lot of kids get free lunches or reduced lunches at home, but then on the weekends a lot of them go home to little or nothing.This program helps prevent that.So sad about the little boy that was saving his food. Thanks Cindy for posting about this program and helping to spread the word to those that knew nothing about it.Sharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02002259391802104132noreply@blogger.com
