Two boxes of food
shall be
left out upon my porch.

Saturday morning, May 14
and when my USA male mailman arrives
he shall have something far more valuable
to pick up for local re-delivery
than all those Comcast advertisements
I choose to return-to-sender.

Saturday, May 14.
A national food drive.
Don't forget to put out
whatever you can share.
Your own neighbor may be
the ultimate recipient.

Gives us all reason to think of others; selflessness would make this world a better place.

I wish we didn't need "special" days
to be generous.
But I hope those who do, will be.

Ever the conscience for all of us, Kacy.  Thanks for this reminder!!  Ken

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

In everything that you write you show such caring and compassion Kacy, and THAT is what makes you such a very special lady.

This is a nice gesture - and one that more should think about making. I work in hospice, and we are always trying to scrounge up baskets of food for our families. There are many angels on this earth, those that take it upon themselves to give something back or help someone that may be having a rough time.  There is a blessing in that - too bad not everyone sees it that way. Bless you for this, its a wonderful message.

Thanks to all! Our Oregon food drive was successful, even with this being the second or third 'hungriest' state according to some recent stats. Everyone gave what they could. The local food pantry I work at received nearly 1500 lbs of canned and packaged foods yesterday, all from this postal drive, and I can tell you, it took four of us over an hour to unpack all that and fill our shelves!
Remember to thank your postman for the extra weight s(he) had to carry around that Saturday! And thank you for helping your neighbors all year long.
