Stories of Kindness from Around the World

End Of The Month Food


--by AURELIA, posted Nov 2, 2013
As the end of the month approaches many of my co-workers run out of money. Even the government assistance they get to help with groceries will be gone. 

I noticed this a while back when one young lady was not eating on our break. 

I now try to stay mindful of this time of the month and bring in a bag of bagels, a loaf of bread, and pound of lunch meat. Or I buy a pizza for lunch and share it. 

I'm not sure what I'll do at the end of this month, but you can be assured I will try my best to help keep my friends' bellies full.
