It is important to think about community that goes beyond your own family and the contributions that you can make that really makes a difference in the lives of others. Food and WATER are the two things we should never take for granted.

The most I hate about it is the thoughtlessness that it is done with. We have a strict "don't waste food" rule in our family and I think my daughter understands what food really means. <br />Your collage is fabulous.

I'm so far behind in my blog visits, I am just getting here today, Saturday.<br /><br />Your collage is beautiful and illustrates more than words can say the importance of giving back to the community with such a necessity as food. It's just what I had in mind when I thought of the challenge!<br /><br />Thank you again for the feature, you are so kind!!<br /><br />Maggie<br />xoxoMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636170871680671006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-61692229955381873492010-11-13T12:20:04.452-06:002010-11-13T12:20:04.452-06:00This post is so beautiful.

At least I assume they are throwing it away. Hopefully they are at least feeding it to some farm animals which in turn can feed people. Now I'm going to have to ask next time!!Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473540669635905535noreply@blogger.com
