I read your LJ entry, and you've motivated me to do just what you said - pick something healthy and nutritious every time I go into a store, and at the end of every week, drop it at a soup kitchen. Money's tight here, but we've never been poor, and I have to keep remembering that. Thank you for reminding me of that. I’m so glad she has her power back on!

But oh did it bring back memories: my hubby and I spent one year way back when living on $600/month in grad school, with a baby, and it was an infinitely valuable experience in learning humility and compassion.

That is such a wonderful thing you did for her. You should hold your head high and give yourself a huge hug, because generosity is few and fleeting in this world today.

I wish I had been able to help. I was in the hospital (again) last weekend, and *our* juice was turned off while I was in there. We had to get a loan from a friend. Don't you love friends? When we are better off, we plan on giving back what we can. Wow! I wish I had been able to help. I was in the hospital (again) last weekend, and *our* juice was turned off while I was in there.

I'm glad I could help. I remember what it was like to be really poor, the sinking feeling in my gut, the feeling that I was totally screwed. Your friend is really lucky to have you in her life. Hugs.

Further to your LiveJournal post, the thing that is often overlooked when buying food for food shelves is PROTEIN. People tend to buy a lot, lot, lot of pasta and cereal. But a jar of peanut butter or a can of tuna or a bag of brown rice and cans of beans or lentils (and veggies) are so much more needed by the hungry than a constant diet of pasta or sugary cereals. That's my little soapbox speech of the day. Much love. It’s wonderful, and it’s a privilege to be a little drop in that bucket.
