Email #2: Areena Thanksgiving 2015! (11/25/15)

The world is falling apart!

Here’s an example.

The American defense budget is $700 billion a year.

That’s $2 billion a day.

$80 million AN HOUR.

Yet millions of Americans go without food every day.

This is nuts.

Is there not enough money in this country to keep our pantries stocked?

How did this happen? How did we become a culture obsessed with taking pictures of our food while the family down the street has nothing to eat?

Why is it every time a cool new tech item is released millions fly off the shelves but the shelves of our food pantries remain empty?

Here’s what we hope everyone reading this email will do in the next week: FEED SOMEBODY. Have one less drink at the bar. Brown bag your lunch to work one day. Don’t order that movie on demand. Instead, find your nearest food pantry and bring a few cans of soup or a few boxes of rice or even call them and find out what they’re lacking on their shelves!

I promise you. The feeling is unlike anything else.

Happy Thanksgiving!
