I like the idea of saving the gas money of delivery and making the process more efficient. I also donate online to food banks... I figure they know what they need more than I do.<BR/><BR/>Agreed on the opinions of those who do not face hunger themselves. Whether a person is lazy or not, they still need to eat. I think giving to a reputable organization instead of handouts to people begging is a wise use of charity if one doubts the sincerity of the recipient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484029710765284827.post-16005370801813234982008-12-06T05:07:00.000-08:002008-12-06T05:07:00.000-08:00It is hard but compared to some we have so much d...It is hard but compared to some we have so much dont we ? I give a donation to charity at Christmas and my husband gives to his charity - he likes the Sally Army . I dont put food into the bins at the grocery store. I think I might do so next week - I thought your article was thoughtful. The food banks are running out of food due to the situation in the country so maybe we should give as much as we can this month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484029710765284827.post-14488356783296827402008-12-05T16:53:00.000-08:002008-12-05T16:53:00.000-08:00I so know what you mean.

It's hard. <BR/><BR/>One thing I like to keep in mind is that sometimes a trip to the food pantry is enough to keep a family from needing to apply for wel-fare or food stamps and becoming a more permanent tax expense.Tenillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18064232873442152162noreply@blogger.com
