We appreciate our partnering feeding programs and ministries like Miriam's Kitchen in Washington DC who turn the meat donated by generous farmers and hunters into so many nutritious meals for the hungry among us!

This gift of $2,000 will pay the processing bills for thousands of meat servings for the hungry in Central Maryland this fall.  A special thanks to The Lisbon Christmas Parade for this generous contribution!

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ...."  Matthew 25:35   

The second Sunday in May is Mother's Day.  It's a day set aside to honor and celebrate mothers. Mothers don't get time off - they lovingly give of themselves taking care of their family 24-7. They give warmth, spend time with their children, guide and teach them right from wrong. They take care of their children when they are sick, rejoice with them during happy times, support them in difficult times, provide security, clothing and food, and teach them about caring for others.
 
There are mothers in our country who don't have enough food to feed their children. 1 in 6 children in the United States are hungry! Can you image what it must be like to be a mother whose children are hungry and there isn't enough food to feed them?
 
This Mother's Day, please consider making a contribution to FHFH in honor or memory of your mother or another mother. While Mother's Day is an occasion to thank your mother, it's also an opportunity to honor the mothers who are struggling to overcome adversities and trying to make a better life for their children. By giving to FHFH you'll be doing what mothers do every day - making the world a better place! You'll be giving a mother the joy and peace of mind knowing her children are not going hungry. It's in difficult times that those in need depend on caring and compassionate people like you!
