Recently at Masters Manna Ken Weiner and Cheryl Bedore founder and director came up with the idea that if we can get people together and write a message to the President of the United States regarding what people need to just keep food on the table maybe he would listen to us.

So since the campaign started people have come in to Masters Manna and created a message on a empty paper plate to be collected and delivered to Washington.

The United States Government has spent over $684 Billion dollars on the Military budget according to the "Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation May 2010 "Report.

Now just think what 1 Billion dollars of that money can do.

It could supply many food Pantries and people in need with plates filled with food on there tables to eat.

In a time when people are losing jobs, facing cuts in hours where they work and losing benefits .

Its now time for our Government to step up to the plate .

To much money goes to area's right now that we do not need .

When the Government is looking to cut Food Stamps to save money .

This is not the solution to the problem that faces this great nation.

Its time to have Washington cut Defense spending and use some of those Billions on helping

the needy in our Communities throughout America and right here in Wallingford and the surrounding area.

Masters Manna Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen provides a vital service to many in Wallingford and a few other towns within our County.

You can make a big difference by stopping in at Masters Manna and volunteering to help those in need and joining our national campaign called "Empty Plates Empty Pockets.
