Small things make a difference

So Karen and I were talking about the party on Sunday. I mentioned that one thing that was amazing is that all the fruit disappeared. Now tell me, if you put out a giant bowl of whole oranges, apples and bananas at one of your party's would anyone touch it, never mind demolish it. I'm guessing most would pass it up for another dynamite roll or some more cheese.

Anyways, what out conversation resulted in is that you don't always need to donate $50 or more to make a real difference. Spend $3 extra on your next grocery trip, buy a giant bag on bananas and drop it off at a centre for at-risk youth or another non-profit that serves people in need.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are not part of the diet of poverty. It will be gobbled up, appreciated and you can walk away knowing that you have added something of real value to someones day.
