intentional living, little by little

{giving} Donate Food to the Food Bank

Source: safoodbank.org via Kelsey on Pinterest

I’m on an organizing roll, people.  Yesterday, I went through my pantry and organized everything in preparation for grocery shopping tomorrow.  There was a lot of “Why did we buy this?” and “Nobody is going to eat this.”  I ended up with a bag full of (relatively healthy) food to donate to the food pantry at our church.   

As luck would have it, I found this neat graphic on Pinterest and just had to share it with you.  This time of year is hard on the food banks.  The need is so great.  It makes my heart so sad to think of mamas who go without so they can feed their kids.  I mean, can you imagine? 

I want to do something.  I want to do more.
I’ve decided to purchase a few extra items when I see them on sale at the store.  Sale on mac and cheese?  Into the cart they go.  Super clearance on peanut butter?  I’ll take it.  I figure it won’t solve world hunger, but every little bit helps, right?

Have a good weekend, friends.
