Thanks for the reminder about food banks. Even if we have only a few cans to spare from our cupboard, they will help. It all adds up.

I remember my mother(we had nothing!) found money to give to the local church for a new roof. They shouldn't have taken the money (because they could see how poor we were), but every month she'd find the promised amount and send it to the church. We managed. It was a great lesson to see her do that.
