Hard Times

**Brian H Drifer** · 12-14-2009, 03:05 PM

Every year at work the local lions club uses our office to store the food they collected on the food drive for christmas. I went out in the shop and they really didn't have shit... green beans, kidney beans, chicken broth and few other food items that most people don't want.

I talked to the lady who runs the food drive and she told me they have 20 family's to feed. I know times are tough for people, but i wasn't gonna let these people get a bunch of crap. I ran out today and got 20 boxes of mac and cheese, 20 boxes of stuffing, 20 packs of spaghetti noodles and jars of spaghetti sauce, 20 cans of mixed fruit, 20 boxes of rice crispy treats, 20 gallon jugs of fruit punch. I am going to call around tomorrow about getting 20 turkeys.

Our comany gives us a certificate for a turkey or ham every year. I usually just give it away/ I'm not doing great by anymeans but I know there are alot of people doing worse then me.

Are you looking for a pat on the back or a cookie?

Just kidding, I'm sure it felt good to help out.

Every time I've almost lost hope in humanity, something like this makes it better. Excellent job

If they would stop spending their welfare on drugs and new cars there would be food on the table.

This smilie seemed pretty fitting. Not all folks that are down on their luck are drug abusers, etc.

That was a very nice thing to do, OP. Severtard, what have you done this year to help someone in need?

**tep98ws6** · 12-15-2009, 08:57 AM

OP - you're an angel for doing that. not many people would do that. im sure those 20 families will be ecstatic and thankful

**SiggyZ** · 12-15-2009, 09:21 AM

You've done a great thing and should be proud.

One can help by not further enabling them to stay in their current situation..
