The Little Things 6

This spring break has so hectic because of baseball.  We legit spent all our time either at the field or at the indoor facility we hit at when it rains.  Which got me to thinking about all the help I’ve gotten, in order to be where I am at.  We feel a moral obligation to help children, so they can become outstanding citizens in our communities but we need to feel this way about everyone who needs help,  especially the homeless and less fortunate.  Our baseball team was going to throw away food and drinks that were still good, so I took it all so it wouldn’t go to waste.  Which is something a lot of people and families do-waste food.  It has become an epidemic and yet we still haven’t done anything.  RFS were I intern, has lost their funding for food and have been relying on people bringing in goods/food.  They have one lady that has been coming in everyday and makes food from home to bring, however, she suffered a heart attack and hasn’t been there.  So as you can imagine, it’s been a little rough.  The drinks and food I brought will go to good use and help the people we feed get through their day.  It’s hard to survive out here with prices being so expensive, making people have to weigh their options more than ever.  Deciding whether they rather have a place to sleep or food in their stomach and with it being so rainy & cold lately, situations have gotten even more serious.  Shop owners don’t want or let anyone looking homeless to stay around their shops, so finding a place to stay warm and dry is difficult and shapes their decision as to were their money goes.  That’a why not wasting food, and feeding the people in need is so important.  No family or person should go unfed when they are trying to make ends meet.  We need to pick up or societies and communities, that way our economy can flourish.
