"When we say 'we are starving,' we have to remember that there are people who are literally starving. If everyone fed one person, one meal, we could make a huge difference," says Tina Knowles. "To miss one meal is a small sacrifice to make in the fight against hunger."Amd what better way for Miss Tina to spread the word about the Miss A Meal campaign than enlisting the help of her celebrity daughters.
"I was 13 and my sister Solange was 8 when we started donating and serving meals to the homeless after church," says Beyonce. "There were people from all walks of life, even children, who needed a meal. We learned that we are all three paychecks away from poverty. It was a lesson in humility for all of us."
