I didn't update last week as I have been pondering on something. Christmas is fast approaching, where there will be merriment, gift exchanging and of course food.
This time of year is also full of stress. People are trying to feed their family who are living on or below the poverty line. People shouldn't have to skip meals while the rest are stuffing our faces. Or spending money on gifts which are frivolous and will be in the back of someones cupboard.
I have had inspiration to start the #ReverseAdventCalendar. It's simple for every day you put a food item, toiletry, toy etc in a box (Don't forget the gift wrap).On the 24th or the last day the food bank is open before Christmas, donate the items and help a family in need.
It's the time for giving so why not give!
Couple of Notes:
- They generally don't accept food that is made because people could potentially get ill and legal stuff.
- Avoid fresh food and stick to preservable, dry, canned, jar food.
- Avoid 24 tins of soup. Would you want that much soup?
- Chocolates are welcomed as they can be for Children during Christmas time
- Visit your local food bank as they will have a list of food items which they are in short supply of.
Merry Christmas and Good Will to Everyone!
