This is a nice little story to hear...
My mom and several from their church are starting a local food pantry in the small community they live in.
My Mom had asked my aunt (who is a bargain shopper extradoinaire!) where she could get cheap Peanut Butter. My Aunt told her there was a grocery store in Lima OH (next county about 25 minutes from my parents) that had jars for 4 for $3. (or 3 for $4 I can't remember!)
So my uncle was going to Lima and my mom asked him to pick up 30 jars of peanut butter. My uncle somehow happened upon a store manager and was telling him why he needed the 30 jars of Peanut Butter and the store manager told him just to take them!!! :eek:
My mom was amazed. My uncle had no papers or anything from the church stating he was doing what he said. My mom sent a thank you to the store. I thought it was an excellant show of goodwill since the food pantry isn't in the same county or community as this particular store, nor are there any branches of that store in the county. :)
So for all that is wrong in the world, there was a small showing of what can be right. :)
AND it has nothing to do with politics! ;):p
