Helping the Poor

And the King will answer them, “Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” - - Matthew 25:40

I’m always glad to help out a good charity organization and Food for the Poor is a great one. If you’re looking for a way to help those in need, this group does a good job of using local resources to get the money directly to the needy in various countries. Today a guy from the organization spoke during mass. He helped them in Haiti and described the needy there. Clearly, as Americans, we don’t have a clue what real poverty is; one stat: almost half of children younger than 5 die of malnutrition. They need your help!

So, take some time and give at Food for the Poor. Jesus will appreciate it.

Unfortunately, this site is not an aid organization. For those who need help, I recommend they contact their local Catholic church who can put them in contact with the appropriate organization.

God bless,
Jay
