The Good That People Do

[Zam-Zam]

Just a reminder that there are a lot of caring souls in this world:


One anonymous man and his dedicated team of volunteers just paid for $22,000 worth of groceries to feed families in need for Thanksgiving.


The man and his company reportedly ditched holiday work gifts in 2008 in exchange for feeding 30 Ambler, Pennsylvania families for the holidays. Eight years later, and they’ve quadrupled that number to 150 families.

The meals were brought to the Wissahickon Fire Company for the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund, an organization which distributes groceries to families caring for sick children.

Pennsylvania social workers also dropped by the fire house to pick up some groceries for their clients, who will now be able to eat at home instead of going to a soup kitchen.


More groceries were reportedly sent to families associated with CHOP, St. Christopher’s Hospital and A.I. duPont Hospital in Wilmington.

We can all do something to help someone.

That's all very nice Zam-Zam but unfortunately there are more and more cities that are making it illegal to feed the hungry. Imagine having to pay a large fine for trying to help those who really need help.

Lots of things are upside down and backwards these days.

Here's an example of it:

The news: In case the United States' problem with homelessness wasn't bad enough, a forthcoming National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) report says that 33 U.S. cities now ban or are considering banning the practice of sharing food with homeless people. Four municipalities (Raleigh, N.C.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Birmingham, Ala.; and Daytona Beach, Fla.) have recently gone as far as to fine, remove or threaten to throw in jail private groups that work to serve food to the needy instead of letting government-run services do the job.

I'm still not good at posting urls with this computer. It depends on the circumstances where I find them. However a search will show you many examples of this.

I've seen many reports on this and it's insane when a fellow citizen can't feed another person if they wish..........
