Happy Thanksgiving!
This Thanksgiving I’m caught up in a fun little movement, inspired by Pope Francis, that we do more than just be thankful and pray for hungry people…but that we raise awareness and actually do something to fight hunger. And, as you may know, I’m a big fan of advocacy—encouraging our government to embrace programs that tackle poverty and hunger head on. (Just this last week we raised $250,000, with your help, to empower Bread for the World for this work — more on that in a future post.)
This fun little video clip is in response to a #ShareYourPlate challenge from Rev. David Beckmann (president of Bread for the World). I share this in hopes that you’ll share it with your network and perhaps make a cooking video or related photo of your own to help raise awareness of hunger during our annual festival of Thanksgiving. (Post your clip on Facebook or Twitter and tag it #ShareYourPlate.) This season I have lots to be thankful for — including your participation.
