I suppose it makes sense for food bloggers to talk about helping those who don't have enough to eat. This article in the New York Timesabout food insecurity in India reminded me how very lucky we are and how much we need to make sure that we care for those who need our help. Two organizations that we support are making a difference at a local and individual level in alleviating poverty, despair, and hunger in the world. Click on the logos or the names to go to their sites and donate.
American Jewish World Service (AJWS) is an international development organization motivated by Judaism’s imperative to pursue justice. AJWS is dedicated to alleviating poverty, hunger and disease among the people of the developing world regardless of race, religion or nationality. Through grants to grassroots organizations, volunteer service, advocacy and education, AJWS fosters civil society, sustainable development and human rights for all people, while promoting the values and responsibilities of global citizenship within the Jewish community.
Heifer International is a global nonprofit with a proven solution to ending hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. Heifer helps empower millions of families to lift them out of poverty and hunger to self-reliance through gifts of livestock, seeds and trees and extensive training, which provide a multiplying source of food and income.
Before you make another meal, make a donation to one or both of these organizations.
