    CHARITY - its worth the little amount of effort

    I just want to encourage you guys, if your grocery shopping and find boxes of mac and cheese on sale for like 96 cents and cans of tuna on sale for a buck .. just pick a few extra items up and donate them to you local charity food bank.

    I guarantee you something mindless in your own life can make a big difference in someone elses life .
    you may never get to see the difference you help in someones life.. but who cares. you don't always need to see to believe

    I have seen the good it does first hand.
    My gf cries thinking about when she had to take her girls to the schools adopt a kid for christmas.

    Last year she adopted four kids gifts.
    She does every year.
    She has paid it back ten times over.

    A lot of these people live on mostly outdated food from "food harvesters" programs at churches.
    A lot of them aren't able to work and live terrible and decrepid.

    First time at the county homeless shelter I expected it to be full of bums etc...

    There were none. It was all mentally challenged, blind, crippled, and elderly people.
    They didn't have a choice.
    These were people society forgot and did not want to believe existed. The place ran 100% off donations.

    Gotta get back there. Summer made me forget about everything, thx for the post

    **people wonder why I am Christian... It's because I cant find the Cass county professing atheist food drive or homeless shelter. Rather stand for something than against everything**

    Most of the grocery stores here (even Walmart and Costco) have food donation bins. They will sell you the food at cost if it's for donation.

    A lot of the owners here will also donate mock non-perishables (like pasta or cereal) when it gets close to expiration date. They can still write it off and it goes to a person instead of the garbage.
    I no longer check my inbox. If you PM me I will not reply.
