End Hunger

We spent a beautiful Fall evening enjoying the End Hunger concert last night. The statistics are unbelievable in a county which is the 6th richest in the nation. We alone have 1,584 children who are fed by our local Food Pantry - we have 4,950 local residents living in poverty and assistance is cut off if you earn $14,001. 13% of MD Seniors live below the poverty line. It's also hard to believe that just $15 can feed a family for a week... I'd be more than happy to tell you how to help.

Hubby had the honor of being part of this great cause. He played with one of our local kids who was brave enough to sing in front of more people than I could count. The three on stage had never played with each other before this night and they were fantastic. Our kids were so proud to see Daddy on stage and Bella ran up to the front of the stage yelling Daddy... Daddy! She just came in and pointed to the above picture and said "That's Daddy on stage, he played a beautiful song" Good job sweetie!
