General Discussion

It's obviously still a good thing to do, but I get such a more positive feeling when I can see the results. Obviously everyone's situation is different, whether it's time or ability to get to a volunteer shift is different, or funds to donate.

I know because my company is hybrid, we do some volunteer projects that can be done remotely. I don't have any off the top of my head for food, but I believe we have done some assembling care packages for homeless people, so maybe someplace local to you has an opportunity they can deliver you boxes of supplies that need to be bundled together into a kit.

There's so much to be angry about right now, but we also need to balance that by finding good and beauty in things too. I don't blame you for being upset at any of this and it's often incredibly overwhelming. But I think that's what they want. They want us to stop fighting. But we got past slavery, Jim Crow, women not being able to vote or have bank accounts, etc. It sucks we have to keep fighting for things that should be obvious like people should be able to get food, but we need people like you pushing for more just as much as anyone else. It's great to follow the system, but to steal from Obama, we've also got the fierce urgency of now. We can use both sides because both are true. We do have to work through a slow system, and we've got people who need help now.
