Outreach

It's not quite leaving the corners and edges of the field, as Torah commands, but this woman had an idea that is reaching many and allowing many to participate.  I donate free range organic eggs and soap to our local food pantry, and distribute extra produce through the summer, but that is nothing compared to what this woman has done!  I do hope some of the volunteers are the people who benefit from her generosity . . .  For those who don't know.  Soap, shampoo, household cleaning products, paper products and feminine hygiene products are not eligible for purchase on SNAP.  There are families in which the adults are working while truly being stretched to their economic limit.  If you raise a garden or have extra eggs, I'd encourage you to take some to a food pantry.  So many of the working poor cannot afford good organic produce that is offered at the farmer's markets.
