With all the news of dramatic events happening at home an abroad, it is possible to forget the fact that many Americans go to bed hungry every night. Nick Cannon, host ofAmerica’s Got Talent remembers his family turning to food pantries when he was younger. Those memories have inspired Cannon to team up with Feeding America, mail carriers and the Campbell Soup Company for the annual “Stamp Out Hunger” drive. Americans are encouraged to donate non-perishable foods in a sturdy bag next to their mailbox before the time of regular mail delivery this Saturday. We might not be able to totally stamp out hunger inAmerica, but we can sure make a difference in someone’s life. At the very least it will make a difference in us as we reflect on how people of faith discharge their sense of social responsibility. We all are called to leaving this world a little better then we found it.
