Value of a dollar?
I recently saw an article online about a photographer who photographed popular fast food items they had purchased to show the difference between what is advertised and what consumers actually receive. Obviously this is hot topic right now. If I find the article, I'll post the URL!

Wow, 92 people? That's amazing.
I have a couple questions about volunteering for meals. What time does volunteering start for preparing the meals? And does one need to sign up to volunteer?
Thanks for the information, please continue to keep us updated!

44-year-old homeless woman training for job, hoping to 'stand on own' again
These stories are incredibly eye-opening. The reality of homelessness is an issue I think many people wrongly simplify. There are many components that lock people into the cycle of poverty and it is wonderful that programs such as the Salvation Army are helping to address these issues.

The Milk Myth
I have never been a fan of milk. I can't remember the last time I had a glass: it's definitely been years. My entire life I have been scolded for not drinking milk and told that it could only have a negative impact on my health. It's quite interesting (and much less disheartening!) to hear the opposite argument. Thanks for info.
