Mr. Patterson rode the bus over to Madison from different part of town. He got off the bus not really knowing where to go. Luckily, the second church he went to was affiliated with the food pantry and gave him directions to get there. He didn't know he'd get to pick out five pieces of clothing at the thrift store to go with the food box so, surrounded by women, he asked for their advice (smart man) on his choices and got plenty of answers. It ended up being a lot of stuff to haul back across town on a bus but Ed wasn't complaining; in fact he thanked every one, repeatedly.

Thanks for the link Ed. Your new page looks fantastic. Really nice job.
ReplyDeleteit's nigh on impossible for me to imagine having to cross town just in the hope that there'll be somebody to give me some food. thank you; your sites invariably give me food for thought.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing such good work. I'm so happy for you, and all the folks who are helped by your efforts.
