I want to participate more with the food banks in my area.
My parents struggled when I was growing up. They'd bend over backwards to make sure my siblings and I always had food on our plates and clothes on our backs. While they're better off now, I still remember the times when they wouldn't eat to make sure there was some for us.
I used to be more active as a teen when I was in the boy scouts, but now that I'm working full time, I want to get more involved again.
If nothing else, people should never have to go hungry
