We all hear about people going hungy; what can you do to help? Turns out, a lot!
Sponsor
a Low-Income Family via www.boxproject.org The Box Project joins struggling families in
depressed regions of rural America with individuals or groups. The idea is not
just to provide financial support (volunteers send about $50 worth of food,
clothing and medical supplies monthly), but emotional support as well; most
participants develop long-term relationships over many years, cemented through
letters. In addition, the organization encourages volunteers to learn about
where the family they help lives, so they can impact public services and local
policy. I know this is helping a lot of people in my home state of West
Virginia where hard times remain.
