We should all remember, however, that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the the poor, the hungry!
Pope Francis

These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.
Pope Francis

Pope Francis
Image
We should all remember... that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the poor, the hungry!
