Feeding America

when organizations get donations they can purchase foodstuff in mass quantitites and therefore lowering the price because its purchased in bulk.

Formatted Soul...yes there are many people in the US that are in dire need of food and shelter...our government can't handle everyone's needs and many fall through the cracks in the system.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

One Dollar can provide 20 pounds of foodstuff.. Doesn't add up..

It is naive to think that the USA is immuned from impoverished conditions. There has always been a hunger issue and things are getting worse with the slow economy. With GM (General Motors) looking to file bankrupy, along with other companies that are in financial crisis, the hunger situation will only get worse. When these large companies have to lay-off thousands of employees, the number of homeless and hungry families will increase.

In addition, there are some families that are just a pay check away from homelessness. Since the economy is in such turmoil, there are people that have generously contributed in the past, but find themselves being cautious about THEIR personal finances. Thus, monetary and food contributions are low.

You could only find one of the hundreds of organizations that are pleading for contributions?

I have to agree with it, The US got way to many homeless and hungry families/individuals in the USA and it will get worst. The Bad thing about it, there is nothing in the Constitution that will protect them. Those people depend on charitable organizations, the community teams, churches and public donations.
