(2,666 posts)I go to a produce store and the owner charges me 10% over his cost for 100 lbs of butternut squash, onions and potatoes. I drop $200. I go to Publix and buy their turkeys for Thanksgiving or hams for Christmas, usually at least 10 each. I tell my kids that was their Present. During the year I pick up Bogos of pork tenderloins and drop them off. They really like the fresh vegetables.

(6,636 posts)They and the Red Cross helped my family recover when our family home burned to the ground in 1955. We were unharmed, but lost just about everything.
I have given over eight gallons of blood to the Red Cross in paying forward the help they gave us, and I remember the Sunshine Division every year in support of the help they are still giving some 80 years later.
