SEO Nation Let’s Stamp Out Hunger Saturday May 10th 2008
Please remember USPS will be picking up dry food donations this Saturday. We got our brown paper grocery bag today announcing the event. After a short discussion we found ourselves scurrying through the cabinets and pantries looking for items to share with others.
Recently, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with a representative of a large local homeless services organization. Since then, I have been contemplating and brainstorming doing something for the homeless community. I was mapping out how we could perhaps do some kind of fund raiser with the internet services community to benefit the homeless. I realized something this grandiose would take a huge amount of time and it might not be practical due to our time commitments and other projects.
When the opportunity to participate in this food drive arrived in the mail today we seized upon the opportunity to do something. We talked about how fortunate we were and how it was cool to help others. While we scoured the recesses of the cabinets it occurred to me to blog about the project. Just maybe someone will see this and set out some food for strangers. How cool is that helping strangers… It was a temptation that we could not resist.
It sure does feel good helping the hungry. I remember a time when an arm injury caused me to lose my job and my home. I still remember very clearly having to turn to food banks and the goodness of strangers. So it is with great joy we have chosen to provide food for others. When you’ve been there and done that, and the “that” is hunger you don’t forget easily.
In fact, for many of us who have hungered for the satisfaction provided by food, we now hunger to be successful business entrepreneurs so that we might be able to assist many others along the paths of life.
We are real big at buying in bulk when things are on sale at the grocery stores. We always over buy something that we eventually tire of and it gets lost in the back of the cabinets. Looking for food was like a treasure hunt. There was the lasagna noodles that wouldn’t get used until winter because it’s already to hot to use the oven much in Tucson for a long while.
Then there is the “Super Bowl snack pantry” which was still loaded with Frito’s, Wheat Thins, and Lay’s chips…. Really… Still we had another closet filled with Gatorade from when a local Fry’s had all you want for .67 cents. I would stop by daily and pick up 3 or 4 cases.
We eventually ended up with a very large pile of mostly snack stuff. You’d be amazed how special and good snacks are to someone who is down and out. They are very, very grateful. So SEO nation we ask you to please give some food and help “Stamp Out Hunger.”
