The Gospel tells us that Jesus had a special place in his heart for children. He embraced and blessed them, and he taught us that the faith of a child should be a model for all of us. That is why it is so heartbreaking to see children, families and elderly neighbors around the world suffering from devastating hunger and poverty.
When families do better, everyone does better. Healthier children, stronger households and renewed hope can help whole communities break the cycle of hunger and poverty. Please be as generous as you can today to help nourish the most vulnerable among us in body and spirit.
