Hi Everyone,
One December 16th, 2012, I posted a blog titled, Food Banks. If you haven’t read it, here’s the link, http://arebelsrant.com/food-banks/. I encourage all of you to check it out. I included the 3 links with a brief description of the links too. 🙂
With that said, I went to the grocery store today and I donated to the food bank. Interestingly, the woman in front of me in the check out line recognized me from 20 years ago! I guess, I still look the same, which is good, I think.
After she looked in my grocery cart, she asked if I had a baby. When I replied no, she just kind of looked at me so I followed that with, “I’m donating this.” I kept my word and I have a witness.
Does that mean that everyone should donate? I am of the opinion that everyone who can should. Every donation counts. No donation is too small. I am telling you this because I know that not only is there a need, the need is growing. And the number of children who are recipients of food banks is growing too. 🙁
That is an unfortunate result of the great recession that has touched all of our lives. And it is the children who suffer the most when their parents lack money for their most basic needs, like food.
So if you have the means, please donate what you can or what you feel comfortable with. I know lots of people who have LOTS of money. Half of them donate generously while the other half don’t. But if they do, they let me know. Unfortunately, from what they tell me, it is a few cans amounting to less than ten dollars.
Yes, some people are cheap. Don’t let that be you! We all get what we give and anything can happen to any one of us at anytime. No one is exempt.
Thank you for reading, A. Rebel’s Rant! ;D
