Dogs in the Park

GIVE AWAY EXTRA FOOD

Working at the Food Bank has taught me to focus on using EVERY MORSEL of consumable food, rather than throw anything worthy away. Yesterday, we were at a birthday party and there were a lot of hot dogs and cupcakes left over. Deanie, one of the other moms, suggested we take them around to the homeless folks in the neighborhood. We hopped into the SUV and made the rounds with her daughter, Mackenzie. It was amazing how many people rushed to the vehicle when they saw Deanie carrying a tray of food. What I found most interesting was that many of the homeless people turned down the cupcakes, stating that they weren’t healthy or that they were watching their weight. I wish I had that kind of willpower! I usually turn down the hotdogs instead.
