Beautiful and inspirational. It’s easy to forget how generous and giving most people are.

Thanks, Jan! So true. We witness a lot of ugliness, but really, more people than not are pretty great.

A shot of hope and sunshine to start my day. Thanks, Kate. Also, I do wish you’d record some of their stories!

Thanks, Elisa! Not sure how I’d go about it, but some of the stories are amazing. Maybe I’ll have to start wearing a mic!

Great story, timely and relevant. Much appreciated.

I've been a gleaner for a number of years, but never worked at the Food Pantry. Your story is an inspiration. Maybe I'll help out as needed.
