The Problem

I am trying to solve the problem of hunger. The US wastes the most food in the world. My church is trying to provide emergency food for the homeless and less fortunate.

Why It's Important

I was homeless and churches gave me food so I feel like I should give back to the community. If I give food to homeless families then maybe they will be able to get back on their feet and get jobs to support their families.

The Plan Of Action

Our church plans to start by giving food. Then, we will continue with clothes, shoes, and baby food along with hygiene products. We will also have a room where they can do job searches and create resumes.

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
Other people can donate food to the food bank or directly to the church. They can also donate clothes and shoes along with baby food, clothes and hygiene products.

This is the best thing that I have ever done.

 
 

This sounds like a great idea! You should add some pictures to your post. Also, if you haven't done so already, think about applying for a Do Something Grant! Here's the link: http://www.dosomething.org/grants. Good luck!
