I used to give a few dollars here or there to the woman in front of Target that looked like she could use it, to the Veteran in the wheel chair with the amputated leg, to the fammily living in their car etc. But I realized that the food shares in my city have a shortage and that's one of the reasons why there are still so many people asking for money or food.

I can give someone one dollar which can't buy a whole meal or I can give that dollar to my local Feeding America chapter and my one dollar can feed 8 people. It made me think twice about how I donate money. Sure I still hand out a dollar here or there when my heart strings are pulled but I am an advocate for donating to feed the people in my community.

Everyone gives in their own way and does what they can when they can and that's great!!!
