DEAR ABBY: I would like to share this information with your readers so they may start this great act of charity at their places of worship.
At our church, many of the children bring nonperishable food from home and put it into big baskets on the altar while the collection baskets are passed around. The food is then distributed to local food banks. The children enjoy doing it, and they learn the meaning of sharing and helping others in need. -- KIM IN SAVAGE, MINN.
DEAR KIM: That is an idea worth emulating -- and thank you for it. I'm sure that many churches, in many denominations, will find it worth considering.
