Feed the Hungry!

You see hungry people all around you; everyday.

If you go to the city, you see hungry people on street corners begging. You see hungry people gathered in small groups in alleys and behind buildings and in little clumps of woods. You see hungry people standing in long lines on cold nights at downtown churches.

If you want to feed hungry people you see in the city, here’s a simple, quick idea that proves to be a pleasant treat for all involved! Be sure to invite friends and family to help you complete this simple project: Feed the Hungry!

Buy a chunk of processed cheese slices. Don’t skimp; buy the kind of cheese you would eat yourself. Sliced, processed cheese costs about $.10 per slice in packages of 16 slices.
Total cost: A couple of bucks.

Buy a package of crackers to go with the cheese slices. Pick the kind of crackers that you would buy for yourself.
Total cost: A few bucks.

If you’ve invited friends and family to share in this project, you should have a couple of boxes of crackers and a few chunks of cheese. Have some sandwich bags handy, and then plan to have a mess of fun …
Total cost: Your time.

Cut a stack of cheese slices (8) into four square pieces.



Open the boxed crackers and make smaller, individual packs that will be bagged together with the pieces of cheese.



Carry these handy treats in your car in an empty coffee can; or carry a few with you as you walk the streets. If you typically see hungry people in your day-to-day, it won’t be difficult to find someone that will enjoy your cheese and cracker treats. You can have the kids write simple, heartfelt notes that can be included in the bags of treats … and PRESTO!

Feed the Hungry!
Total investment: Your Love.

So, there you go. You end up having a good time with family and friends; you end up feeding a hungry soul or two; and you will end up with a treasure built in The Eternity.
