I want to start a thread that is nothing but good news. I comment here on TUG frequently, usually in response to posts from others and I’m not shy about my opinions.. I rarely start a thread. But, I read a story today that renewed my faith in humanity and in this country.
So, I’m going to start and I hope many of you will follow with your own posts of good news. There is plenty of good news out there because there are a lot of good people out there. Let’s post some of it here so we TUGgers can read something that will make us feel good and remind us that a lot of great people are performing a lot of acts of kindness every day. The media does report it. We just need to read it.
The story I’m starting with is one I read in the Washington Post today. It takes place in Minneapolis MN, the same city that has seen so much heatache over the past week or so. I will post a link to the story below but I think it is behind the firewall so many of you may not be able to read it.
In the aftermath of the protests and violence that occurred in Minneapolis, a middle school found that many of its students did’t have access to food because the grocery stores were damaged and closed and public transportation was also shut down. The principal of the middle school decided to ask some friends and people in the school community to step up and donate enough food to put together 85 meal kits for the children in need.
Did the community ever answer the call! Word spread and cars, trucks, even U-Haul trailers showed up with food and supplies. Miles of vehicles lined the streets. The principal had asked for 85 food kits. People donated enough food to make 30,000. Yes, 30,000.
Here is the link to the story with a photo of the donated items below.
