First Fridays for Food Security - 10.7.2011

October 7, 2011

 First Friday Hunger Awareness is a project sponsored by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to increase community awareness of hunger and food insecurity, especially amongst those for whom food security is the norm.

Below is a link to a PDF document that describes the First Friday Hunger Awareness  program.

On the right side of the  webpage you will see a search box.

In the search box, enter the words, Kids and Hunger,  and click Enter.

The first thing on the list on topics under What's New is the link to all the information you need.

A suggested mealtime prayer from this program:

Lord Jesus Christ,

In your great goodness, you became human, being born into a poor family.

We ask you to look with kindness on those children in our nation and in our world who do not have enough to eat.

Kindle in our hearts the fire of love for our brothers and sisters, so that we may do all we can to meet their needs.

We ask this through you, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
