Too many hungry people

By Larry James
November 18, 2008

All year long we've watched the demand for our assistance increase. We noticed back in January that something wasn't right.

Too many hungry people. Too many long lines and waits to explain needs. And, unfortunately, too often this year our warehouse and pantry shelves have been too empty to meet the pressing needs that increasingly feel like flood waters that never recede.

Times are not easy. In fact, they are tough and growing tougher.

Take a moment and watch the ads that you'll find right here.

Pay particular attention to the first video, top left, the one with the child sitting in the front seat of the car. The footage could have been shot just outside my office here on Crutcher Street in inner city East Dallas.

We, no better, our friends here in Dallas need your help. Your donations today will go a long way toward helping families keep things together. Funds saved on groceries can be shifted to paying rent, utilities, medical and transportation costs.

Visit our website at CentralDallasMinistries.org to make a secure donation on-line or mail your checks to my attention: Larry James Urban Daily, c/o Central Dallas Ministries, P. O. Box 710385, Dallas, Texas 75371-0385.

Thanks in advance for your help.
