16. TAKE FOOD WHERE IT'S NEEDED SAT 23 FEB If you live in a town or city of any size, buy or collect groceries and/or supplies and take them personally to the overworked, inspiring people at your local food bank, shelter or similar charitable organization. It will take you to an area of town you don't see often, you'll see some of the people who come for help and you'll get to meet the people who work there. I did this a few months ago and now it's a habit – I enjoy going there so much. Idea by: Laura The food bank people are probably desperate for the groceries. Donations are down and demand is up. Here's a wish list from my food bank, but find out what yours needs. Many people think of food banks in the run up to Christmas, but hungry people are hungry 12 months a year. Do be sure to ask them if they have guidelines first (e.g. "no jars"). Idea by: Charlotte "When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint. When you ask why the poor have no food, they call you a communist." – Dom Helder Camara |
