The first --- and what seems to be the hardest step in my actions to help people --- is just to open peoples' hearts to the truth about most of the common everyday things people do to work against the poor. Several thoughts come to mind:
Feeding people through homeless programs, food drives and other avenues is great, but to me, it is like putting a band-aid over your oil light in your car.
You still need to change the oil!
When we can truly stop being such a part of the problem with our personal choices, we WILL be making a huge difference. Oh, I love to help those who need food get it. Dealing with the systems this society creates is necessary while you are trying to cure the sickness.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY? Do more!
In all of the talk about what we can do to help. What have you done lately to help feed people that need it? I got my company to donate some of their services to the public for donation to the food bank. We raised thousands of pounds of food two weeks ago. And last month we raised $1,400.00 in one afternoon! You can make a big difference in changing your behavior and using your creativity to find ways to help others, while we work to change the systems that work against the good of all.
