I have often wondered if maybe some Thanksgiving down the road I would take my kids to volunteer at a soup kitchen instead of eating dinner. My husband thinks that is a bit much but my point is how early should you teach your children about compassion for others? I just don't think it is that bad of an idea. We have so much to be thankful for but a couple of stupid or bad decisions or job loss and anyone could end up with nothing. It is just something that I think about. Am I wrong?

Most of us have no idea of what hunger really is. One day is just a taste of what children all over the world experience. I wish more schools would do that.
