Last week HALF fed people.
No suprise right? Since feeding people is what we "DO"...Well, really, it's what YOU do since your purchases are the reason anyone, anywhere, who is fed by HALF is fed in the first place.
Regardless of the who's and how's and where's and why's, last Saturday the HALF team along with the wonderful people from one of our partnering organizations "Vigilant Hope" fed people. And it was wonderful, and life-changing, and beautiful.
It might seem odd but this whole event got me thinking about that time-honored evening-hour tradition of sitting down for dinner (well, we ate breakfast, but you get the point). With life's busy pace constantly spinning around all of us like some sort of wicked beast of a cyclone, its so easy to miss meals, or at least those shared with others. But last week when myself and my friends (both old and new) took the time out of our Saturday mornings to sit down and eat together the most peculiar thing happened- We formed bonds that otherwise we would have missed out on. Each of us may have one day just walked right past the other and would have never known the friendship that could have been.
Something happens when you eat, and chat, and complain, and laugh, and even cry over a meal with friends. And this past Saturday all of the above happened and it was grand.
Here are some photos of our time.
We'll be doing this all summer, and we'd love you to come and experience this for yourself.
much love.
Carmin and the HALF team.
