did you know....
..."More than 300,000 children in Southeast Michigan don't get enough to eat, negatively impacting health, learning, and more" (Bitsoli NP).
...Almost 40% of the people helped by Gleaners Community Food Bank are children under the age of 18.
...1 out of 4 children in Michigan live in poverty (Bitsoli NP).
Think the dilemma is too big for you to help? Or that you're just one person, and can't make a difference? Well you're wrong. I too thought I was helpless to the problem until I looked into it. Once I did a little more research I realized the depth of this problem was in my own community. There are many organizations that you can join to help provide food for those in need. "More than 1/3 of Michigan children live in homes where no parent has full-time, year round employment" ("About Us" NP). These kids need our help. Some children rely on school meals to receive their daily nutrition ("About Us" NP).
