A donation that makes a difference

When I walked into a meeting today, Bill from the State Department of Social Services handed me a baggie with three one-dollar bills and a handful of change in it.

This might seem like an odd transaction to some, but when Bill told me that it was really from his six-year-old daughter, Amalie, who had broken into her piggy bank to make a donation to Foodshare, I was beyond touched. 

Amalie's gift may seem small, but it is important.  Each dollar of her gift will provide a full days worth of food for someone in need.

More important, it keeps my faith in the upcoming generations and hope for the future alive.

Thank you, Amalie!
