They spoke of a woman with eight kids who showed up to get food and was met by a sign saying the pantry was closed until early November. The community began donating. Time to refill the food pantry.
We can't let our neighbors go hungry. We started going through the cupboards, but it was slim pickens there.
After my work out this morning, I'll be out and about. I plan on hitting the grocery store and picking up a few more items on their list, then dropping them off. I sure hope they don't mind all the whole grain. That's kind of the way we roll lately. Let's see, where did I put all those new toothbrushes our wonderful dentist gives us every time we visit? Didn't we get the bulk soap and toilet paper at Costco the last time we were there? I can spare some of that.
Do you have a local food pantry that you could help stock its shelves? Time to clean out those cupboards, pick up a few extra items on your next grocery trip. Time to give from the heart...now please.
