How This Started

Like many others, I was feeling helpless in the wake of natural and human disasters. So many things to make the world a harder, colder, meaner place. And yet, from these tragedies, stories of love, warmth, and heroic sacrifice emerged. At some point, it occurred to me that I could do something. Maybe I couldn't rescue someone from a flood or hurricane stricken zone, or prevent a violently unstable person from killing others - but I could do something. So I challenged my family and friends on FaceBook to think of things that I could do. I was going to choose one of their suggestions to complete; however, as I saw the suggestions that they made, I realized that the need was so great, that I should not just choose one, but choose all of them. Now, I caution you, this list is eclectic, and does not at all even scratch the surface of what can or needs to be done. But it's a start. A proof of concept, if you will.

Is a Food Bank like a Soup Kitchen?

Is a Food Bank like a Soup Kitchen?  I haven't found a local Soup Kitchen (yet), but I found our local Rutherford County Food Bank.  They need volunteers and both food and monetary donations.  I can do some volunteer work, but my personal specialty is sitting on my butt and surfing the web.  I also like to experiment.  So, I'm going to see if I can raise $100 for the RC Food Bank using crowdfunding (Ok, after their overhead, RC Food Bank gets $96 dollars - still pretty good, as far as overhead goes...).  So, everyone, donate here.  ONE DOLLAR is all I'm asking.  And, no, I'm not writing it off on my taxes :D  Look for pictures in February!
