Letโ€™s Live Our Values of Interdependence and Generosity during the SNAP Crisis


โ€œMillions of Americans, including more than 15 million children, will go hungry starting this week. It is a moral scandal and an affront to our Unitarian Universalist (UU) values of interdependence and generosity." - UUA

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that โ€œInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.โ€


If your heart is saddened by pending crisis of more than 15 million children going hungry, please donโ€™t only shake your head or complain. Please take ACTION.

(3) donate to your neighborhood food pantry

(4) One more thing, donโ€™t forget to ๐Ÿ”ฅVOTE๐Ÿ”ฅ


You may not have given birth to these children who will be impacted. You may never see their faces. But I hope you feel for them and for our country.


They may not be your children, but they are all OUR children. If our current administration wonโ€™t feed them, letโ€™s help. No child deserves to go hungry. Mitigating this crisis starts with us. Amen.


P.S.
