1. You’ve seen them before.

5. But what if...

6. They’re in your own back yard?

7. Your father. Your mother. Your children. Your brothers and sisters. Your neighbors.

8. Luis Mendoza works part-time for a wholesale grocer for $6.75/hour. After taxes, his family’s monthly income is $1,787. He returned the $5 bill you dropped at the gas station last Tuesday.

11. Dora Parker has custody of her 8-year- old granddaughter. Her only source of income is her late husband’s Social Security payment which provides $786 each month. She used to play bridge at a church in your home town.

12. Patricia and her 5 children finally left her abusive husband. She struggles to make ends meet cleaning houses. You saw her waiting in line at Wal-Mart last weekend.

15. What can you do?

16. Help feed a hungry neighbor. Share a meal.

17. Donate unused meals or declining balance dollars. Your contribution will be used to donate food to a local food pantry. Your gift will help neighbors in need.

18. We can make a difference every day. Share a Meal.
