withoutlove project: Day 24.6
4 Bags/25 Items
Here is my slightly belated contribution. At first I had just 24 items, as image 1 shows, then I found a bag of egg noodles as well as some shampoo and such (the logic being that if one does not have money for food, they most likely do not have money for cleaning). Final total: 25 food items, unknown number of cosmetic items. Cat not included.

The items include 54 cans, 16 bags of Ramen, 2 big bags of noodles, 2 bags of rice, 1 bag of beans, 7 assorted boxes of dry goods, and 1 bag of a rice product. Most of the items came from my pantry (leftovers from hurricane season) and I bought the rest just for the drive. I’ve been planning this since it was...

I think it’s 11 in total. Not too much, but I got nailed by work this week and couldn’t make it to the store. Ah well, I’ll probably do it again soon anyway. Those people rock.

I dropped some stuff yesterday. I don’t have a car, so I just dropped it off at my college’s outreach center. They’ll take it over to a local food bank. I got 11 items, some boxed mac and cheese, some refried beans, some diced bamboo shoots, and some organic dried mulberries.

I donated 23 Items to a local homeless night shelter. it was interesting to be given a tour and the lady was really helpful (she insisted that i take a calender below). i felt pretty weird taking photos in there so i only took one in the store room. overall it was a good thing to do and nice to find out more about this local charity. Cheers.

When I called on the phone to ask for directions, before I could ask, the woman said “I’m sorry but we just ran out of food last night, we probably won’t have any for at least another two days.” She was extremely grateful when I told her I had food on the way, and was looking to change that...

Hey, I am new here and just wanted to say how great of an idea this is! You people rock, seriously.

I hope that is alright

Seems like the giving bug has bit me. Greenwich House in particular gave me a good feeling, I like the fact that they help people in recovery, even when I was there little kids were running around. So I hit the grocery. Last time she said that they especially appreciate pasta, rice and soup so that is mostly what I got. Again Greenwich House is on 7th St. and Cooper Sq. in...

First off, this is such a wonderful idea to take an online community and help the real world community (both of which we are all members). Every minute of this was so rewarding. The first task was to find a food bank of good reputation. A quick Google search brought up: http://www.unityhouseny.org/how_to_help.htm They are only 2 blocks from my apartment! I then talked to a...

I donated a total of 16 items (8 per bag) to my local Salvation Army Community Services Centre (they also have a “soup kitchen” in this building). Here are my items and bags at home so that you can see what I put in the bags (I’m recycling old paper bags which is why the green “R” is on...

Here is Food Bank employee Wayne, who is clearly thrilled about my contribution. This is four bags, but it’s only packed that way to avoid breaking the bag. Wayne said they will probably condense it to 1 or 2 bags. This is a wonderful program, and it made me...

Wow, This initially presented alot of challenges because I had to go visit my parents on sunday, which is also my only day off till the 15th. Since no banks were close or open, I had to figure out a way to get the food on the train, I went with a suitcase and ended up wishing i’d brought less cans. Once I got into the city I had to find a bank that was open on Sundays....
