April Food Day 2010

Fried Chicken... Red Beans & Rice... a good steak... a big bowl of pasta... pepperjack cheese and Triscuits... eggs in the morning... a hot dog for lunch... that big salad of greens and fresh vegetables... holiday feasts... homemade pizzas... boutique cupcakes... a simple square supper of grilled fish, green beans and rice...These are the foods that have defined who I am and where I find comfort day in and out.

Luckily, I haven't ever had to experience not having the food I love much less need, at my reach. However Feed America - a non-profit serving 37 million Americans, including 14 million children, or 1 in 8 individuals - must provide food and groceries to 33,500 food pantries, 4,500 soup kitchens and 3,600 emergency shelters.

Southern Gent Blog became a part of this annual blogger event last year and I am happy to contribute again given how important good food is to all of us. Please give, because for every $1 10lbs of food and grocery products will be donated to men, women and children across America.
