OCTOBER 16th -- WORLD FOOD DAY
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization uses this day to showcase hunger relief efforts, agricultural and food-related technologies, and forum discussions of food shortages and their causes.
Tip: What a great day to reinforce with your children the importance of taking care of others in their neighborhood and world. Ask your children to select one of their favorite healthy, nonperishable food items from the grocery store shelf every time you go shopping. Donate the nonperishable item to a local food bank. This "habit" will be something your children remember and pass to their friends and family in years to come.
