The price of groceries in our area has risen. As a result the contributions to the food bank this year have been slow but the need has increased by 8%. Wow. This reminds me how grateful we should be to have a grocery cart of food every week. It also reminds me that I have the task of teaching my children that not everyone is as lucky as we are and we need to help towards making a difference in our community. Definitely something for us to think about as a family with Christmas approaching.
