S.S. Current Event # 2

In the following article i read about the Food Pantry of Monmouth Junction and how they are struggling now more than ever to get donations. This is because of the bad economy. Families are struggling to put food on their own tables and therefore cannot afford to purchase food for the people who have none. Also, because of this economy, the price of food is up. The amount of people who go to the food pantry as there food source is increasing as well. More and more people are loosing their jobs and can use every penny they get and cannot afford to donate because they are barley affording there own food. It is important that people that can afford to donate know about the food pantry and do donate and hopefully more people are employed and the economy gets better and this crisis can be over. I believe that this is a very unfortunate problem. Many people are loosing there job which causes upset families who cannot afford food and really need this food and it is so sad to know that they cannot get the food they need. I think that there are many people that could donate and it does not have to be a lot but there are people who can donate that do not know how needy the food pantry is and if they did know would hopefully be willing to help and would help. All in all, this is very unfortunate and hopefully the economic crisis will be solved and the food pantry will receive more donations.
