17 Items/1 Box
My 17 cans of food:
Community Economic Development Alliance:
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 situation.
Actually going there and seeing shelves upon shelves in a store room that were all empty, with only my measly 17 cans in the entire place, really made me think about how hard off my own neighborhood is. Now I’m planning on grabbing a few cans every time I go grocery shopping, to help make sure those shelves don’t go empty again. I’ll admit, I was initially doing this for the points, but now it’s really made an impact on my life (and hopefully others).
