Missouri Childhood Hunger in the National Spotlight
...and it's not good.
Missouri State Representative Cynthia Davis from St. Charles made some comments about the perks of childhood hunger in her June newsletter that have caught the attention of national media outlets. MSNBC's on it. So's the Kansas City Star. And Fox.
Now, I know my reaction to this story. It's not pretty. I don't want to go on a partisan rampage here, though. That doesn't put food in anyone's mouth. So I'm going to approach it like this:
If you agree with Davis, you need to be a part of the non-government programs that's helping the one in five Missouri children facing hunger. LiveFeed's one of those programs and we need volunteers! Sign up! Tell Rep. Davis you agree with her and encourage her to join LiveFeed in helping the kids in her district. Email her at Cynthia.Davis@house.mo.gov. Better yet, give her a call at 573-751-9768.
Disagree with Davis? Worried that our tax dollars aren't doing enough to help the one in five Missouri children facing hunger? Then help a grassroots program that is helping those kids. Like LiveFeed! And we need volunteers! Sign up! Tell Rep. Davis you disagree with her and encourage her to join LiveFeed in helping the kids in her district. Email her at Cynthia.Davis@house.mo.gov. Better yet, give her a call at 573-751-9768.
There's no shortage of volunteer opportunities right now. I'd love to see Rep. Davis helping us sell beer at Fair St. Louis. Or at the Live on the Levee shows. Email kevin@livefeed.org and he'll tell you everything you need to know about volunteer opportunities.
How about spending your Sundays catching local bands with the new Live on the Loop concert series at Racanelli's Cucina? Steve Ewing kicks it off this Sunday. Will Rep. Davis be there? I hope so. We need as many people paying that $5 cover charge to help the kids who are too young to start slinging fast food burgers.
