Good News 7: Sandwiches and Love

Looking for something nice and easy to do to help out your fellow man/woman? Take a page from "Love Sandwich":


Or join the team/blog. A group of young folks who make sandwiches--as many as they can/4? 12?--and hand them out to homeless folks. I'm not too deeply into reading the site yet, but it looks like maybe this is a monthly activity. It doesn't require large-sized commitment--no van or coolers and or an attempt to reach hundreds of people. It's about what you can afford to make and can schlep on the train or the bus or your bike.

But it's this really basic and kind thing--looking another person in the eye who needs help and helping, talking, offering a meal. I'm thinking that you may find that the talking is the best part of this. . . we all need buddies. we all need a helping hand.
