I had a student once who was very proud of his grandfather because he always took an extra sandwich in his lunch to share with someone in need. Your children will not forget this example of kindness.

I live in an area with many many homeless people. It is so sad to see them standing on a corner with a sign begging for money. I admit sometimes my "Christian" self does not kick in and I say to my husband 'why don't they go get a job? I would rather do anything than stand on a corner and beg" but then later I am reminded in my prayer that I do not know their circumstance. Maybe they are ill, mental illness? Who knows. I try to always treat them with kindness and respect. I also give them bags I have made up. I am lucky to have shirts, (t-shirts) that come from my brother in law's company. These are misprinted t-shirts that he can not sell, perfect except the silkscreen print is off center or something. I often give a pair of socks, and then because my husband travels a lot I have loads of hotel soap, shampoo, and lotion. I often put food in the bag too. Things like crackers, the tea bags, (again from the hotel) a package of pop tarts or cereal bar, a can of soup, and sometimes if I have them I will put in a McDonald's gift card or a card from Windy's or Burger King...I do not give cash. I choose not to support a smoking habit or possibly drugs. I figure if they are hungry they can get a breakfast or lunch at McDonalds...That is what I try to do. Sometimes I will put in a baggy of dog food. The homeless here seem to have pets. I am a huge pet person. That is a wonderful example for the children.

I volunteer at the food pantry one day a week, so I would like to let the readers know that donating to the FP is a wonderful idea. With food prices rising and children soon out for the summer (i.e. no free lunch at school) families are really struggling. Even with jobs and a car, a bump in the road such as illness can put a family in great need. I know this is a long post, but I would like to make one suggestion--if you plant a garden, plant some extra rows and take that produce to the nearest food pantry. We rarely get fresh vegetables, but when we do they are so welcome. All of these were such great ideas.

April is the month for youth service, too - so it's a great idea to include your kids in the project. Great post.
