Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Little Things


--by gardengal10, posted Mar 23, 2025
The library has a little free pantry. When I was at the library earlier in the week, I saw that it was empty. I did my grocery shopping today and picked up a few small food items to place there. Noticed that someone else had added some items. Also purchased two boxes of breakfast cereal and cans of tuna fish for our small church food pantry. Met a long-time friend at the supermarket while I was there. Learned that there are some family difficulties. She has been helping her adult child and her older grand-children. She admitted that the situation is stressful. Wrote a note and included a "Mindy Dove" as well as an inspirational card.
