Feeding America's Children. Star Throwers Wanted
FEED First prepares and serves thousands of meals to children each day, who would otherwise go to bed hungry. As you can imagine, it is an enormous and challenging task, however, we have not been able to do this without the financial support of many of you.
Please reflect on the following story adapted from Loren Eiseley's 1969 essay The Star Thrower.
A little boy was walking along a beach with his grandfather when they encountered a pile of starfish that had washed ashore. The little boy ran up to the pile, picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean. His grandfather upon seeing this shook his head and gently inquired: "Son, the task is so enormous, what difference can we make?" The little boy responded, "A huge difference to that one!"
How often do we ignore an opportunity to give to others because we don't believe we can make a difference? Please join us and share in the spirit of giving by making this holiday season special for a child. Be a Star Thrower.
We thank you for your gift.
