Why does the Trump administration hate the poor and hungry? #FeedtheHungry
Why are we arguing over this? This is basic human decency!

Starving children screaming for food as #US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across #Myanmar

On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.”
That, Taher says, “is a lie.”
“I lost my son because of the funding cuts,” he says. “And it is not only me — many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment.”

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. But in Myanmar, families tell The Associated Press their loved ones have died as a direct result of the aid cuts. In one case, the father of a 2-year-old boy says his son died in May of malnutrition after the family's food rations stopped arriving as a result of the aid cuts. In more than 60 interviews, the AP documented widespread suffering across Myanmar because of the U.S. decision. Children are screaming and crying for food. Health care services have been hobbled. The sick and the starving have wasted away, and people must forage for hours in the jungle each day to find food.
We have a food pantry at the Brookland United Methodist church and we get food through direct donation, a grant from Harps, and from the Food Bank.
Almost every week we have a pickup at the Food Bank which we then have to unload and store. It can be some pretty heavy lifting.
Once a month we have a food distribution for anyone who needs food. There are other churches in Brookland who also have food pantries on other weeks and we work with them.
