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!
Wendy
