"The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how we should treat all others, as if they were Christ in disguise. They 'are charitable actions by which we help our neighbors in their bodily needs' (USCCA). They respond to the basic needs of humanity as we journey together through this life."
"There are many people in this world who go without food. When so much of our food goes to waste, consider how good stewardship practices of your own food habits can benefit others who do not have those same resources."
- "Having delicious food at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner? Donate to a Thanksgiving or Christmas food drive so everyone can have something to eat."
- "Research, identify and contribute financially to organizations that serve the hungry."
- "The next time you make a recipe that can be easily frozen, make a double batch and donate one to your local food pantry or soup kitchen."
- "Try not to purchase more food than you are able to eat. If you notice that you end up throwing groceries away each week, purchasing less groceries would eliminate waste and allow you to donate the savings to those in need."
