But more importantly, at least to me, we live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The very idea that human beings go to bed hungry in this nation while other people attend a billionaire’s Great Gatsby ball on Halloween disgusts me.

I paid for my groceries today, too. I also donated food to my local food bank this week. I am eternally grateful to be able to do this because there was a time when my husband and I passed around 69 cents among four other friends to eat pinto beans for supper.

I understand what being hungry feels like. I understand what too much month and not enough pay check means. We were blessed to have kin who were generous with produce from their gardens.

Can we do any less for our suffering brothers and sisters?
