We explained to our young daughters that we should put money in it to help poor children in other countries. \u00a0Then on Thanksgiving morning we would bring the bank to the Thanksgiving service at North Park Covenant Church (Chicago). \u00a0This daily ritual gave us a chance to explain how so many children around the world didn&#8217;t have enough to eat. As the weeks passed, the bank became heavy with our coins.<\/p>\n<p>Thanksgiving morning came, and our daughters excitedly walked over with us to the church. \u00a0Holding the bank, our daughter Sonja looked all around at the familiar congregation and finally whispered, &#8220;Where are all the poor children?&#8221; \u00a0<i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>We are grateful that the soup cans make such an impact, both for the individuals and families who use them and for those around the world who benefit from them.
