I HAVE DONATED MONEY TO :: FOOD * NOT * BOMBS :: ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AFTER BECOMING INFORMED THAT THE VALLEY HAS HAD AN ACTIVE CHAPTER FOR A WHILE ... ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 23 2014, I BENEFITTED FROM MY DONATIONS TO THAT POSITIVE CAUSE, LOW BLOODSUGAR EPISODE WAS TAKING PLACE AS I SHOWED UP TO THE SERVING AREA .... THERE WASNT ANY PREACHING, NO RANTS ABOUT GODS, OR THE GOODNESS THEREOF... THERE WERE NO RELIGIOUS SCRIPTURES SPOUTED, NOR FAITH SPEECHES ATTACHED... THERE WERE JUST PEOPLE THERE, VOLUNTEERING THEIR OWN TIME, ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT HELPING TO PROVIDE OTHER PEOPLE WITH A PLATE OF SUSTENANCE. NO MESSAGES OF WORSHIPPING, NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST, NO ONE WAS REFUSED WHEN PAPER PLATES HAD RUN OUT FAR BEFORE THE FOOD SUPPLY. POT LIDS & SERVING BOWLS WERE OFFERED AS OPTIONS. THE BLESSINGS I HAD BEEN GIVEN FROM MY EXPERIENCE WERE MANY, AND WERE MORE THAN JUST ATTRIBUTED TO THE MEAL. IT WAS EXPERIENCING MY MONEY AT WORK. PEOPLE ACTUALLY WILLINGLY HELPING PEOPLE. NO PRETENTIOUSNESS AMONG THE VOLUNTEERS. NO GOVERNMENT AGENCY SIGNUP SHEETS TO FILL OUT, NO ASSUMPTIVE RELIGIOUS RITUALS CONDUCTED, NO DISCRIMINATION, NO DENIAL OF SERVICE. EVERY THANK YOU REPLIED WITH A YOURE WELCOME .... I KNOW SEVERAL OF THE VOLUNTEERS INVOLVED. I APPRECIATE EVERY ONE OF THEM EVEN MORESO NOW, BECAUSE SUNDAYS EXPERIENCE WAS THE REALEST HUMANITARIAN ACTION IN MOTION, THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WITNESS THROUGH SERVICES PROVIDED, AND BY OBSERVATION OF THE PROVIDERS AND THOSE BEING SERVED... PEOPLE BEING HELPFUL TO OTHER PEOPLE, WITHOUT CONCERNS FOR POLITICS. :: FOOD * NOT * BOMBS :: foodnotbombs.net
