Donations!

So today I heard someone at my door, messing with the door knob. I walked over and pulled the door open to see a young woman walking away and when I asked "What's this?" She turned with a smile and told me all about how some local businesses teamed up to collect donations from people in the area for the Central Oregon Food Bank!

Within 10 minutes the boys and I had that big ol' paper bag completely loaded! It was fun...Almost like a scavenger hunt! Looking in our cabinets almost made me feel a little guilty...We have so much and others are struggling to survive right now. So we took almost half of everything, from jello to pasta to stove top and canned goods, and put it in the bag.

Tomorrow we get to set it at our front door and they'll come back and take it for us. I hope the boys will keep a look out for them to come get the bag...It's really important to us that they see they are making a difference, in a big way or a small one, with things we take for granted everyday!
