Food Drive: Why should we help to feed the less fortunate? (Part 2)

Why should we help to feed the less fortunate?

1. Because Jesus told us.

Reference: St. Mathew 14:15-17

2. Because there are many who do not have enough food.

Nearly one in five adults and one in four children in Texas encounter food insecurity. 41,000 children under the age of 18 in Travis County are confronted with food insecurity every day. Want to know more, view a Hunger Awareness Presentation from austin food bank. (15.5 MB)

3. Because we want our children to continue to learn the culture of sharing.

During the Great lent, it would be wonderful if we continue to teach our children the importance of sharing our fortunes with others. Please make it a point to explain to the kids what you are doing, have the kids pick/choose the food, have the kids drop the food items in the box. (Instead of you doing it) To go a step further, ask them to write about their experience in doing it and why they think they should be doing it.

How are we helping to feed the less fortunate?

We are helping to feed the less fortunate by organizing a food drive and donating the collected food to the Capital Area Food bank. The Capital Area Food bank in turn will use this to feed the less fortunate?

Support the Sunday School food drive and make it a success.

Thanks,
