Kudos to Weight Watchers for repeating their Lose For Good Campaign that went so well last fall. The company will match every pound lost by members over the next four weeks with the cost of providing a pound of food to people in need through two national and international charities - www.strength.org www.actionagainsthunger.org
On a local level, members in WW meetings are being encouraged to match their weight loss with a food donation for the duration of the campaign. So every pound lost will mean 1lb brought to their meeting and then passed on to a local project.
The Selden center where I do most of my groups will be helping Grace Care again this year, which is our church's community care program.
We supply food to an average 70 families each week - at least 300 people - which totals 15,000+ people each year. Our mobile soup kitchen serves a further 3,000+ people a year, which is a lot of needy people and a lot of food.
Our stocks are painfully low and demand is growing, so this comes at just the right time.
