A Package of Care

Every once in a while when I hear of a friend or relative who is having a hard time making ends meet, I make up a sampling of each of the items I have stored—beans, lentils, barley, noodles, spaghetti, oatmeal, rice, soups. I deliver the items, along with some recipes and jars of seasonings, to the person in need. This gives me the opportunity to help others as I rotate my own food supply.—Name withheld upon request
