1. Thank you very much for the reminder.

I had almost forgotten. Thanks for the timely reminder. Nobody will be at home tomorrow when the mail is delivered, so we will certainly leave some stuff out by the mailbox.

8. Food banks thank you too - help is needed all year long.

Hunger in the United States is the result of too many people not having enough money to cover all their basic needs.

A common misconception about hunger in the United States is that between one and two million people are hungry or are just a meal or two away from it. The real number is between 30 and 40 million people.

Up to 70 percent of all Americans are at risk. They are getting along okay, and then they lose their job or their work hours are cut back, or their purse gets stolen, or the transmission goes out in the car, or a child gets sick and suddenly there aren’t enough dollars to cover the household’s needs. These are the types of reasons why people seek food aid. Not because they are multigenerational welfare recipients or are people who don’t know how to budget, work or cook. They are just like you or me, but on the other side of bad luck. But as soon as possible they will get back on their feet and you will never see them again.

11. I had a bag all ready to go.

Unfortunately, instead of coming at 3 PM or later, like they usually do, they came at 10:30 AM. I didn't get the bag out in time. I had a letter that needed to be sent, too. Perhaps they'll have a collection receptacle at the post office for donations.
