Thanksgiving is but a few weeks away, and I am sure many of you have already planned your menus, made travel arrangements, and thought about your table setting. Why not think, too, about people who don’t have turkey and the trimmings and the staggering numbers of kids in food insecure homes who don’t know where the next meal will come from.

This year I’m giving to my local food bank, the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. And I’m helping to arrange a food drive for Second Harvest through my son’s school. It’s easy to give canned goods for emergency food boxes. And it’s simple to organize a food drive at your local school, church, or place of business. The most needed items are canned meat, beans, fruits, vegetables, and peanut butter.

To give to Second Harvest, click here, or visit FeedingAmerica.org to find a food bank near you.

For those of you in the Lexington, KY, area, Joseph-Beth Booksellers is arranging a food drive for God’s Pantry, a local food bank, in conjunction with my book signing there at 7 p.m. Tuesday Nov. 3.
