On a holiday where many of us will be visiting with our families and enjoying a robust meal of turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, Ham and many other local favorite dishes it is important that those of us going to meet with family and friends and eat until we need to sleep it off remember one thing. Many Americans are not as fortunate as we are and on this holiday will not be having a huge dinner, they will instead be going hungry.
Because of the current recession and job losses, more people are going hungry now that at any time since the statistic has been recorded. Unfortunately, most likely these numbers will be even worse next year as the full effects of the recession come to fruition. As always with hunger children were some of the hardest hit.
