PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) A new article released by The Huffington Post focuses on the growing issue of hunger in America. The piece explains that today one in six Americans doesn't have enough food. Startlingly, over 16 million children go hungry every day and nearly four million senior citizens live in poverty. The piece suggests ways for citizens to get involved on a local level to help fight hunger in their area and in the country. Melanie Edwards Desautels, a proud supporter of the Feeding America charity, supports the article's advice.
The piece highlights different charities that work nationally to stop the growing problem of hunger. Groups like Feeding Hunger help people by giving food to those in need using a nationwide network of food banks, while working to raise awareness about hunger. Feeding America provides food to 37 million people and offers up three billion pounds of food each year.
Melanie Edwards Desautels, owner Aunt Mel's Frozen Yogurt, is passionate about the organization's work and the issue of hunger and says, "These numbers are staggering and show just how much of a problem hunger is for children and families across this country. The work of Feeding America is incredibly important. Even if you're not a wealthy individual, you can still make a small contribution to help this group's cause. It's remarkable that the charity is able to touch so many lives, but we need to work as a country to make sure that there isn't such a desperate need for food on a daily basis. We shouldn't have so many hungry seniors and children in America. It's devastating."
The article explains that other groups, such as Share Our Strength, Sustainable Table, and The James Beard Foundation, work to find solutions to food problems in the country.
The article also offers ways for individuals and families to get involved in their own communities. The author suggests finding out about local food banks and supporting them. Feeding America offers a food bank locator, making it easy for interested people to help out their local food banks.
The author also suggests that interested citizens organize a food drive at their school, community center, or in their hometown. In addition to this, the piece suggests making a financial donation to an organization that is working to solve the issue of hunger in America. An Internet search is able to provide a comprehensive list of groups working to solve this problem.
Melanie Edwards Desautels says, "You don't have to be wealthy to make a huge difference in a family's life. Even a small donation means something. If you don't have the monetary resources to make a donation, volunteer your time at a food bank. Everyone is able to make a difference in fighting this growing problem."
