Second Update on Elderly Food Boxes

Just want to take a moment to post a few photos of people who received food boxes from your donations. Some people did not want their pictures taken, and that’s ok too. I will be purchasing more groceries next week for more elderly people on a fixed income.

Thanks for your participation.  Let’s try to keep it going!

Update on Caregiver Challenge to Feed the Elderly

A few days ago I put forth a challenge for caregivers and other kind people to feed elderly people on a limited fixed income.  I never underestimate the kindness of strangers because I still believe most people are kind. In just a few days, enough donations have been received to feed three more elderly people for about a month.  Like I said before, it’s nothing extravagant.  This time I purchased a 12 pack of corn and a 12 pack of green beans; an eight pack of 18 oz cans of soup; a 16 pack of tuna, a large jar of peanut butter and a two pack box of oatmeal.  Not pictured is a gallon jug of apple juice and a box of crackers.  Three elderly people will receive these groceries next week.

Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far.  Special thanks to Kathy Hendershot-Hurd who tweeted the challenge and mentioned it on her blog Virtual Impax; and to Michael Martine who tweeted the challenge.

This challenge will be ongoing.  I would like to help feed our elderly on a regular basis, especially in this economy.
