As many of you know, I'm involved in a big event coming up on June 25.
Joyful Noise IV is a charity music festival that benefits the
Quakertown Food Pantry produced by my church,
St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Applebachsville. I'll be writing more about it as we get closer to the event date.
But since the festival benefits the food pantry, I've been thinking and reading a lot about hunger in this country. And what I've been finding out is pretty disturbing. In this incredibly wealthy and technologically advanced country, thousands of people--many of them children--don't know where their next meal will come from.
Hunger threatens people of all races and religions. It affects city dwellers and country folk. You may not realize it, but it thousands in our community deal with it every single day.
Read my article on
Bucks County Taste for more details. There's also a link to BCT's calendar with more info about
Joyful Noise IV.
