Penny's Passion: Let's Give a Little (or a Lot)

Let's Give a Little (or a Lot)

If you haven't noticed, today isn't just any Tuesday.  It's Giving Tuesday! 
Last night we had the opportunity to attend an event at the St. Louis Area Foodbank where several past and present St. Louis Blues players came out to support feeding the hungry people in our area.  We had a blast!  But more importantly, it made me start to think about all the people in our community who are not able to feed their children.  How can we make situations like this better?



Thoughts might be swirling in your mind about how money is tight in your family right now or you really don't have much you can give.  Well, every little bit counts!  You really don't have to give much to make an impact.  For every $1, they can provide 4 meals.  Just $21 can feed a family of four for a week.

St. Louis Area Foodbank serves people like all of us.  Their mission is to feed hungry people by distributing food throughout the bi-state region and engage our community in the fight against hunger. They help working families who still aren't making enough to feed their families.  They help senior citizens who are struggling to put food on their tables.  They help people who are trying to overcome hardships and are struggling to pay their bills and buy food.  They help 43,000 people each week.  With your help, they can reach even more.
