| On the 15th of each month, a classroom at Pointers Run Elementary School in Maryland, is packed with volunteers. Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that ____________ by students, parents and teachers from each classroom. Then, the children check to make sure the food isn't too old. After that, they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community. "I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy (慈善)," says Julie Rosenthal, who started the non-profit program six years ago. "And I wanted to teach other kids in the community, too." Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month, when money from monthly Social Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made. "I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably," says Linda Testerman, a food receiver. " "It was really fun, it was great to make the senior citizens happy," says Campbell. "It was really cool." Sofia Merkowitz, another Food on the 15th volunteer, agrees. "I really liked it because it made me feel really good that people were so happy that they got food." Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food. "We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody's life, a positive difference." The program started with one school delivering 30 bags of groceries. It has grown each year, and now involves 10 schools and several churches. Food on the 15th has delivered more than 12,000 bags so far. Rosenthal's goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world. |
