"Brother are you okay?" the food pantry worker's husband asked his neighbor. "Do you and your family have food?" He watched as tears filled the man's eyes and listened as the man confessed that he hadn't had food in his house for days.

This true story is only one of several that fill the pages of author Marty Girardier's book How Shall We Feed Them?, which reveals the reality of hunger in our nation. "The numbers of hungry people in America are growing faster than the organizations that provide food," she writes.

Driven by a desire to reach people spirituality by first meeting their physical needs, she offers a practical doable plan for establishing, organizing and efficiently running a food pantry in any church. Never has there been a better time to organize a church pantry, Girardier writes. "Increasing prices of food and gas, combined with an increase in home foreclosures, single parent households, grandparents being parents again on a fixed income, job losses, and the economy in general mean that the church needs to rise up and be Jesus to the community."

In addition to providing practical advice on organizing a food pantry, stocking the shelves, and serving the recipients, she offers a variety of tear-out resources, including food pantry check-off lists, a contribution sign-up sheet, a sample postcard for thanking contributors and food pantry guidelines to get any program up and running quickly.
