Prompt: December 5

Holiday treats are delicious delights
But too many people go hungry some nights.
I wonder if we might spread prosperity
By donating something in solidarity?
Let’s donate some food to some neighbors in need.
Then our own treats will taste sweeter, indeed.

Materials

Food or money to donate to an organization that seeks to end hunger and food scarcity. Some good local options include Food for Lane County, Burrito Brigade, and Willamette Farm and Food Coalition. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I’d love to hear from you if you have additional suggestions.

Activity

This one is easy. Over breakfast, we’ll chat about food scarcity, and what that means for families. Since we enjoyed such a feast yesterday, it seems like the perfect opportunity to think about what it might be like to worry about our next meal. Then, we’ll talk a bit about our favorite organizations working on food security, and donate to one.
