I'm volunteering some time to help in a food bank distribution for holiday meals and the organization I'm working with expects to help close to 30,000 families this year. These are families on the edge and those who have fallen over the edge. The numbers are up from last year and the need is great.I can only imagine that around the nation it's just as bad. That's why I think there's a huge disconnect between what our government is reporting economic-wise and what is really happening on the street.If you can help with food or time please do, I'm sure that there is an organization in your area.
