5-year-old Phoebe's Food Bank
"After seeing a person holding a cardboard sign begging for food, Phoebe wondered, "Why does that man look so sad, and why is he holding a sign in the street?" That question to her parents, during her daily ride to daycare, sparked an idea that has helped feed nearly 18,000 hungry San Franciscans. Oh, and Phoebe is five years old!"

2. There used to be 3 food banks in my sadly depressed town.
Now there are only two. I take vegetables to them once or twice a week from my garden. Bless Phoebe for showing us we can all do a little more.

3. kick for something positive to read....

albeit about a subject that should no longer exist, let alone be increasing (poverty, homelessness, hunger).
