Memo: US Spring Storm Relief
FIRST FRIDAYS
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops invites us to participate in a monthly First Friday food fast to take the time to reflect on poverty. On every first Friday for a year, eat meals that cost only as much as is allotted for a family of your size by the USDA Modified Thrifty Food Plan. This plan is used as the basis for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly called food stamps). The “cutting back” that will likely be required in order to stay “in budget” can be considered a form of fasting.
