we're about to have a whole lot of hungry people

 ...and while we couldn't be better represented in Congress when it comes to support for hungry people, as SNAP loses funding at the end of this week, and WIC is also in danger, I want to urge you to support local feeding efforts.

Here in Worcester, I'd urge you to send MONEY (money is always better than food donations to food banks; they can get more with it than you can!) to the Worcester County Food Bank. I am also a donor to the Worcester free fridges, where you can bring food or you can donate money; see their website for more information on both. For information on more local resources, as well as how to give, please see FoodHelpWorcester.

Also, this makes the school nutrition efforts that much more important. Here in Massachusetts, remember that we have universal free lunch; if you know of hungry families, please ensure their families are taking advantage of that.
