If you are planning to enjoy a meal with friends and family this Thanksgiving, please show your gratitude by paying it forward to those who don't have that privilege.
Give what you can, and know that you are part of the solution!! You get what you give. ?
In Gratitude,
Michelle
I am the Executive Director of PRISM and this is my Walk to End Hunger Fundraising Page. You can donate directly to PRISM, or to the larger effort coordinated by Hunger Solutions.
We will be at the Mall of America at 7am on Thanksgiving morning to walk and join other community members who want to end hunger. Join us! #DoingGoodFeelsGoodatPRISM

What is Food Insecurity? (aka Hunger): the state of being without reliable access to enough affordable, nutritious food. That means some days dinner is served, and some days it's a couple bites, or nothing at all. As income waxes and wanes, so does your ability to get food.
-- In Minnesota 338,000 people don't have enough affordable, healthy food to eat every day.
--Food is more expensive than ever. A family of four with two parents earning more than $12/hr is above the income threshold for SNAP (food stamps).
--Half of the people affected by hunger are children and seniors - our most vulnerable and under-represented community members.
--We have enough food and money. We need the desire to ensure ALL people have ALL meals EVERY day.
