The Salvation Army describes its mission as, “…dedicated to doing the most good. Also, “Sharing is Caring is a long-standing motto that succinctly describes the partnership between The Salvation Army and the community.”

One way it demonstrates these qualities is through the stomach, with its well-known pancake breakfast fundraisers. It hosted one here in Watertown, NY on Sunday. In March, the Salvation Army’s soup kitchen served more than 4,000 meals–three times more than last year.

We may be able to order groceries or food with the tap of a finger. But all the toys in the world can’t make up for an economic system prone to sharp inequality and widespread instability. Maybe you want eggs to go with those pancakes? According to CNN, “High egg prices send profits at largest US producer soaring more than 700%.”

Not much else captures inflation like breakfast.
