Household Food Security in the United States in 2010. September 2011). “The supply of basic needs can be restricted by constraints on government services such as corruption, debt and loan conditionality and by the brain drain of the health care system and educational professionals,” (Foodforthepoor.org/ Food for the Poor Inc., 6401 Lyons Road, Coconut Creek, Florida 33073). “Unlike most food pantries that have geographical boundaries on their service area, the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry, due to its strong faith-based nature, will feed anyone who comes in need of food. If you or your family needs food assistance, the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry will help.” (Haymarket Regional Food Pantry/ Haymarket, Virginia 20168).
I also try to help others by guiding them to a good decision but not telling them the right one so that they have the choice in their hands. I currently represent the “Service” Trait of NJHS by participating in Art Club. Art Club is a club that makes things like ornaments and valentines to raise money to donate to local organizations like the Tranquility Animal Sanctuary. We do service projects that also include donating ceramics to “Empty Bowls” charity event to help raise money to feed the homeless. We also got to eat what an average homeless person’s intake of food for a day.
Infect, it is more like sharing and giving not just food, it could be anything that could help the poverties and I think one of the most important facts is to give them all the happiness you could. Throughout this assignment, I learnt a lot about how many people out there are having a very hard time while we are doing whatever we want to do and having a best time in our life. To prevent the poverty incensement, everyone have to volunteer around them whenever they have chance to do. So some time in our or their life we will learn and also until there are no poverties in the world so the world can be happy living forever.
With a permanent staff of approximately 160, The Carter Center works to resolve conflict, advance democracy and human rights, and prevent disease and hunger around the world. In 1984 Carter and his wife began working with Habitat for Humanity, a Christian organization based just down the road from Plains, devoted to building low-cost housing for the poor. His work caused many Americans to reappraise the man they had voted out of office four years before. Now that he no longer served them from the White House, it seemed, people were free to appreciate the idealism and selflessness they had first appreciated in Carter in 1976. Though he is always representing the Carter Center in some capacity, Jimmy Carter has also carved out an individual role as an elder statesman.
Dear Mr.Singer, I here write to tell you how impressive your article, The Singer Solution to World Poverty, is when it successively brings people’s attentions on charity issues. Nevertheless, although I concur with you that people who have spare money should donate some to save poor children’s lives, I find myself quite hard to agree on that money is the only way to help them. Some people might spare their $200 to have a fancy dinner, yet you do not see the fact that they spend every precious Saturday to teach, to sing, to company the homeless children in an orphanage. Irrefutably, in a self-centered era like this, people should be alarmed that how their unnecessary prodigal behaviors can “murder” a child. People around us always do such
443). As we take a closer look at a southern rural environment you can see that family kinship and friends play an important role in raising children. Even though friends are no “blood”, in rural communities they are treated and considered family, at least those that share the same values and beliefs. People who act like kin are kin (Miller, 2007, p. 203). Referring to the interview above, most of their time is spent with their extended families.
Instead of going out with my friend and her family, I went with my co-workers and owner of the organization the non-profit organization The Harlem Children Zone. After seeing the devastation at Far Rockaway, many volunteers were asked to give up their free time to go to hand out food to those who were in need. On Sunday November 4th 2012 we were asked to meet at our job and prepare individual bags with food so that we could hand out. After that was completed we headed to Redfern Houses. I didn’t know Redfern Houses was public housing nor did I know that there were going to be so many people in need.
According to V.O.A.W.W. (2013), “Volunteers of America Food Banks in Everett, Sultan, Mill Creek and Greenwood/North Seattle distribute emergency food to families, children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.” Not only do they provide food to those in need, they work with community partners and coalitions to leverage community resources and raise awareness and support for the hungry community. “Many local economic factors contribute to this demand on our food bank services, and we find that the vast majority of our main customers- 50% are children and seniors- come from working households, families on unemployment or those on fixed incomes who struggle to make ends meet.” States the V.O.A.W.W.
Children’s Hunger Alliance Children’s Hunger Alliance My Healthy People 2020 topic of interest is Nutrition and Weight Status. The goal stated is “to promote health and reduce chronic disease risk through the consumption of healthful diets and achievement and maintenance of healthy body weights.” (Healthy People 2020) There is a nonprofit group called The Children’s Hunger Alliance that helps Ohio children achieve this Healthy People 2020 goal. This organization started in 1970 with one single volunteer and a $5,000 grant. In Ohio over one half million kids go hungry at some time during the year. The Children’s Health Alliance states a simple message, “Hungry children can’t learn.” (Children’s Hunger Alliance) They work with schools, faith based organizations, and child care centers to increase participation in The United States Department of Agricultural meal programs.
Currently they provide programs to help the children that have suffered abuse and/or have been neglected by their parents. In conjunction with The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida they offer free specialized group parenting classes to teach parents how to focus on their strengths and set appropriate expectations for their children. Another agency helping the children is the Hunger and Homeless Coalition of Collier County they are working with different institutions like S.T Matthew’s House. S.T Matthews House has been helping families since 1989. In 1989 its doors opened to 18 single men at one site.
