Charity December: Feeding America

Each day during December, I'll be providing information on a charitable organization that I support. These are my personal choices and reflect nothing other than that.

The holidays are a particularly difficult time for families in need. Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest) is the largest hunger relief charity in the United States and provides food to more than 25 million people every year. From the organization's web site: "Our network of more than 200 food banks serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, securing and distributing more than 2.5 billion pounds of food and grocery products annually. Those member food banks support approximately 63,000 local charitable agencies and 70,000 programs, which provide food directly to individuals and families in need."
