Today is a special show, episode 68 The Give 600 Campaign.  Instead of our usual 2 week intervals between shows I decided to add in this one to address a critical issue in our country.Included in the just passed stimulus package from Congress was another $600 check to each adult individual in the country – I’m not sure exactly how many children are included but our focus today is on that $600 and the impact it can have.The economic impact of this disaster has been extremely damaging to those at the lower end of our economy in particular restaurant workers and retail employees.These folks through no fault of their own are now out of work and nearly out of hope.  As you are aware a record number of United States citizens are lining up at food banks having lost their lively hoods due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  The lines of cars seemingly without end get me choked up, frustrated, and angryIn a country as prosperous as ours it isn’t right that so many should be left out.  And so that is why I’m proposing the GIVE 600 Campaign.  You’ve probably guessed the gist of it.  I will be donating my $600 to my local Food Bank.  As regular listeners know I do some hands on volunteer work and many many others do a lot more than me which is terrific but the reality of this current situation is that these organizations need MONEY in order to procure the food these families need.Theme music from Purple Planethttps://www.purple-planet.com/ Feeding Americahttps://hungerandhealth.feedingamerica.org/get-involved/find-food-bank-pantry/ Pittsburgh Foodbankhttps://www.pittsburghfoodbank.org/ 412 Food Rescuehttps://412foodrescue.org/ The Commonhearthttp://www.thecommonheart.com/  Contact MeProofPositivePodcast@Gmail.com Leave me a review!https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/proof-positive-876873 Where to find my podcastApple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/proof-positive/id1468269668Google Play  https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/I3sz6fk4kmj54qasoaw3jonnv5iSpotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2G1UHjBwyAyiqRTzAc50BSStitcher https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/stephen-c-plut/proof-positive?refid=stprTuneIn:  Just ask Alexa to "Play the Proof Positive podcast"
