What to Do on Monday: Stock the Shelves

Food banks from Canada to Ohio and beyond need your help. Stocks are low and demand is high as the economy wields its way on America's most vulnerable. Of all the things we talk about on these pages, this is one thing that can be addressed immediately and by every citizen. Of course, people eat 365 days a year not just around the holidays. The challenge for Monday is not just to give a few cans (although that is important) but to enlist your Sunday school, civic group, biking club, children's school in developing a plan of action so that the food bank in your area has an ongoing flow of food throughout the year. Grocery stores are great partners in this but don't forget banks, dry cleaners, malls, etc, where people can contribute. What to do on Monday is simple: make hunger off-limits for your community.
