Week 3 at JCU

I can't believe we are already finished with our third week! We have a few green and banana peppers that look like they may be ready to pick in a short time. It is exciting to finally see some vegetables begin to form. At the emergency food center this week, we were very busy. We served over 100 individuals, many of which had families of 4 or more - one was even 11 people. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to feed 11 mouths off of food stamps and emergency food.

I thought the article and the video were good. The article is inspiring because it shows just how much can be accomplished when people really care about one another and work together toward a common goal. It made me think about hunger in terms of health care. Our country spends so much money on health care every year, but if people had more education about nutrition and put more money into producing and eating healthy foods, health care costs would probably be greatly reduced.
