Twenty-five percent of contributions to CRS Rice Bowls remain in our diocese, helping to support local poverty and hunger alleviation programs like our Community Meal and Lettuce Pray Giving Garden. This week, we pray for people in our own community who struggle with poverty and hunger. To get a sense of the need, we can look just down the street to the West Seattle Food Bank, which served 8,682 individuals at risk of hunger over the past fiscal year, 3402 of them children. This week, give to Rice Bowl to support programs that help those in poverty in our own community, as well as communities around the world. To bring Rice Bowl to life, test your global knowledge by taking the World Awareness Quiz on the Rice Bowl website.
