our church youth group went around a section of town last week passing out bags (kindly donated by our local grocery store) with bright pink notes attached stating that if people would like to contribute to our local food pantry, they could put non-perishable items in the bags and we’d be back this weekend to pick them up.
we do this every year, and typically get back 10-15% of the bags. this year the response was over 25%. what overwhelming generosity our community demonstrated!
it was such a beautiful day that some of the kids escaped before we could get a group picture. there were so many bags, we couldn’t get all of them in the picture, either!
would you have left a bag full of groceries on your front porch?
