The next step in my evolution

     ….. This past weekend I attended a function @ Keiser University and enjoyed an afternoon of activity with colleagues and friends. This event was catered by a number of vendors ranging from frozen treats to warm, fresh hot dogs. At the end of the function I noticed a large amount of food was still untouched.

     I’ve always been community conscious and I saw this as an opportunity to do something small with food that was just going to be discarded. I spoke to an event coordinator for the event and asked if I could take the leftovers and explained that it was my intention to distribute the food to less fortunate members of our community. This simple gesture couldn’t have taken me any more than 45 minutes in total but was so satisfying. I think that if enough people get themselves involved that this problem of hungry people living off of scraps and loose change will start to take a positive direction. 

     On a humorous note …… it was almost shocking how fast about 125 hot dogs can go even during a thunderstorm. 

     ….. In summary it has given me a direction in which I can give back for the many blessings I have. Besides it just feels good to help someone else right ? ? ! !
