You know, sometimes it's very difficult to buy in the quantity that I feel like I need to buy in for the homeless. I didn't used to buy in such quantity because in all actuality, we do not keep a huge stockpile in my household. I do keep enough personal care in the cupboards for a year, but for the most part to feed my family I rely on fresh veg and whatever I can make from scratch to feed my family (that is why I donate all the processed foods that I buy!!!!) Regardless, I did pull out a huge donation for week 48, but in all honesty I misused coupons (primarily with the mustard because I didn't realize the limits on the coupons). That being said....I was able to pull out 39 packs of hot dogs that I froze AND a few mustards. I will not be adding this to my totals, nor will it be week 48. HOWEVER - with the buns that were donated from Rusty along with my hot dogs from I feel like our homeless friends had a little bit nicer 4th of July weekend. And in all honesty, that's all that matters anyway.
For those of u that may want to know: we hand the hot dogs out frozen so they will last longer. Most everyone has at least a styrofoam cooler to keep food in-this way they will last at least a day or 2 in this heat. Also, there are lots of camps that share, so I didn't feel so bad about not having much mustard.
And thanks again Russell for jumping on board.
