According to FeedingAmerica.org, 45.3 million people (14.5 percent) were in poverty in 2013 and 49.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, including 33.3 million adults and 15.8 million children. Pacer.org (Pacer’s National Bullying Prevention Center) reports that "Nearly 1 in 3 students (27.8%) report being bullied during the school year (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2013) and “Students who experience 'bullying' are at an increased risk for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and poor school adjustment (Center for Disease Control, 2012).” We must change these harsh facts.
Join Gabe's Heart Foundation on November 21, 2015 to assist in bringing awareness to these crippling issues. Let’s feed the hungry, be kind to others, and help those in need. Let’s celebrate those that are “Doing It Gabe's Way”! For more information, go to gabesheartfoundation.org or contact Kimberly Jacobs @ 980-275-0571.
