Birthday Blessings

I must confess: I tried something new for my birthday this year. I have everything I need in life so this year for my birthday I decided to do something different. I wanted to give back. Our local food bank was low on food, as in 3 jars of peanut butter and 1 box of cereal. With over 500 families (not people, families) asking for assistance every month, feeding them gets difficult. So I took my $5 savings plan money (about $100) and went to Aldi. Best prices in town! With everything on their list that they were desperate for, I could have easily spent $1000. But I too, am on a budget. We filled up the cart before even leaving the first aisle. Then we took it all over to the local church for donating.

 

It doesn't look like much but there is $100 worth of food there. I hope it helped them out and made a difference in many lives. I will continue to help the food bank and when I find a good sale I always pick up extra because I know that someone somewhere needs it. And that feels pretty good. 

Happy Giving!
