Update #1: Declutter and donate my space

I am so saddened by the fact that some people aren’t going to be able to buy food for themselves or their families so I decided to start a small nonperishables box for the neighborhood
Challenges Overcome: I started on Halloween- I put a box of nonperishables outside my place of work so that if people were in need, they could grab some soup or rice or granola bars
Obstacles Faced: Hopefully people only take what the need/if they need and aren’t greedy
Next Steps: Continue to purchase nonperishables and leave the box out on weekends
Looking Back: Well after leaving the box out for 2 nights over the weekend, it was almost empty. The need for donations is real

Update #2: Filled another box with nonperishables

It was bittersweet to find the box from last week basically empty. I am glad people get a chance to grab food if they need it, but sad it’s happening in general. I restocked the box with more soup, ramen, granola bars, and rice.
Challenges Overcome: Week 2 of food pantry!
Looking Back: Maybe pay attention more to what people are taking and buy more of that item.
