Dear Heloise: After reading about the lady who asked visiting friends to bring a CAN OF FOOD, which later she took to a food bank, I thought I'd share our idea that started a couple of years ago. I am a member of the Charlotte County Retired Educators Association in Florida, and I came up with the idea to have each member bring a can of food or a nonperishable food item to our monthly meetings from October to May. Our motto is: "We all can with one can at a time feed the hungry and homeless." We bring the goods and place them in boxes. During the meeting, we draw the name of a food bank from an envelope with all the local food banks' names in it. Then a member who lives nearest the food bank drops the food off after the meeting. Almost every month we receive a thank-you note from the receiving food bank. It is a good feeling to know that we help feed someone without putting a big financial burden on any of our members. Now, wouldn't it be great to plant this seed with all the clubs and organizations around our caring country? I think we can! — Arlene Kincaid in Florida Yes, ma'am! Consider the "seed" planted and spread across this country! My sincere thanks to you and your group for this heart hint. My hint? If you pick up only one or two extra cans when you shop, it won't "DENT" your budget. — Heloise
