Community Service

Hunger is a very big issue in the world today, that needs to be a priority to others. There are many people these days trying to solve this issue but not nearly enough. A way to fix this problem is to look at the poverty level. Most of the people today that are with out food are the ones that are living on the streets, under the bridges. If people are living on the streets then most likely they do not have money to buy food. So the first part to solving the hunger issue is to help fix the number of poor people living on the streets. The next step is to educate the wealthy on how big of a problem hunger is. The wealthy should be obligated to giving some of there money to certain agencies that help the poor and hungry. If wealthy people are not educated about this then there is know way that they can give there money. Some wealthy people are kind of "stuck up" so they do not even see homeless people, because they do not go down in the areas of the city where poor people live. They are to good for homeless people they think. Another way of helping out the hungry is to build more "diners" where homeless people can get a meal for free when they have no money. We could make it to where the diners serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This way the homeless will never go without a meal. On a personal level I could go volunteer at the family shelters by handing out food or serving food to others. I could also give 10 % of my paycheck to the homeless shelters, to buy food. If everyone pitched in and game 10% of there check to the homeless shelters, there wouldn't be a starving person in the world.
