Food security is a huge problem in earth. Some people have a lot of it and some people don't have anything at all. One way I want to help is by giving food to homeless people. Few months ago my mom told me a story about how a couple gives food to homeless people in Jackson Hights. And yesterday night when I went there I actually say them giving food to people.
I think what they are doing is really nice noble and inspiring. It inspired me to do something like that in the future.
