I also reported that one of the programs that will be cut is the reduced/free school lunch program - which serves about 73% of the students in the immediate areas around The Villages.
Salvation Army is one of the best charities around. They still have need of bell ringers for their Red Kettles. Call the Leesburg office to volunteer. I am one of the bell ringers at Wal-Mart on 466.
Follow you own conscience for whatever program you champion. Hunger does not have a political party.

I laud you as I am a great champion of the Salvation Army, however to say that your post was not political is a bit of a reach. Somewhere somehow, the line must be drawn and no matter when it is drawn, it will create angst among some groups for sure. It is inevitable or we will succumb and as Zuckerman said....it will be over !
