I hope everyone is having a blessed and happy Friday. I say I hope everyone is having a blessed and happy Friday... I know for a fact however that not everyone is very happy today. We live in Spartanburg County, a county with just over 300,000 people and a median income of $37,000 per capita income of $18,000.
12% of the population of Spartanburg County lives under the poverty line. in case you do poorly in math that is 36,000 people... 36,000 people!
of those 36,000 people, Spartanburg County Department of Health and Environmental Control estimates that 62% are hungry.
in case you still don't get it, 22,000 people in Spartanburg County are hungry right now while we eat our fast food our steaks and our lobster while we go to work with our lunch bags there are lots of people that are starving.
I am in touch with over 3,000 people on social networking applications. if each of those people were to give $1 to from God's hands inc, can you imagine the work we could do? We could function if everyone gave only 10 cents because every penny donated to this organization buys food for those 22,000 hungry people.
I live by the philosophy that if I can help someone I will. I also believe that if we are able to help anyone, then we are morally obligated to do it. There is no excuse for a community of people that have plenty of change to spare to deny someone food.
you may disagree with my tactics and you may not like what I'm saying right now but shame on us...if you switched to one generic named food at the grocery store and donated the change that you saved from that generic product you could do a world of good for a family in your own community. That's all I have to say today god bless you all and I hope your tummies are full
