Today is World Food Day - a day dedicated to raising awareness about world wide hunger.
Did you know that one child dies every five seconds from hunger or malnourishment? That there are over 1 billion people in the world without enough to eat? That nearly one in four children in the US live in families who struggle to put food on the table?
I encourage you to make a difference by donating to your local food bank. Non-perishable sources of protein (canned meat or fish, beans, etc.) are most needed. Click here for locations where you can donate food for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank.
