There are few who would catch a pre-sunrise train to the least-used station in Britain to eat a mince pie on the edge of nowhere … but those are exactly the sort of people I want to meet.
I’ll be bringing a radio, and my sketchbook to document the adventure. Will I see you there?
After all, it’s not the craziest midwinter thing to do, is it, boys?
Your quarterly reminder to donate money to the food bank instead of food!
think about the things you like to eat, that you would want to feed your kids:
fresh fruit, veg, meat, milk, bread, cheese, maybe some of those fun dannon yogurts with the sprinkles, ice cream treat?????
none of these things are canned corn. we can get them these things: it’s a common misconception that all food banks distribute is shelf stable stuff. We can even do it so much more cheaply than you can! But we need money to do it. 5 bucks can give a family of four dinner. I know it “feels better” to give stuff, but please, money
Also! If you’d rather give something tangible, see about volunteering at your local food bank (in addition to monetary donations, if you can). Most food banks could use a hand or two throughout the year.
