Feeding the hungry provides sense of hope
We all know the state of affairs of our great country and world in general. We know the promises our presidential hopefuls have made. What we don’t know is that we have an urgent crisis now that can’t wait on the next president.
I am talking about the food crisis. We don’t need Washington to tell us we need to reach out to our neighbor and community with food donations. When you offer food to a person in need, you give him more than food. You give him a sense of being part of a community that cares. You give him hope that the nature of man is still good. You have taken off one of the many worries that kill a person’s sense of worth. You give him hope for another day.
The Servant Center Pantry, The Hive and Grace Community Church are all serving our community daily with food and hope.
While some are waiting on Washington to solve our problems, I believe residents of Greensboro can fix this one problem on our own. We can rally together.
Share what we have, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s the only thing to do.

I wish more people thought this way.
