Stamp Out Hunger

I was trying to decide what I might do for today's on-purpose giving
while I was clearing off the dining room table from the week's mail
and school papers. And there in the midst of it all was a postcard
saying that today, May 8th, is Stamp Out Hunger day. That means that
the mail carrier will pick up non-perishable foods for the local food
bank.

Several months ago I had cleared our pantry and have made every effort
to not buy things that would just be wasted. So when I checked the
pantry today, the items I picked for donation were all things that we
would actually be using. So this wasn't just a convenient way to clear
out the pantry, it was a wonderful way to fulfill Day 6 of giving.
