Resolution 1

So, one of my resolutions this year was to kick the Delivered Dish habit. I can’t say the pure laziness of ordering all my meals motivated me to evaluate the practice. And while health certainly concerns me that didn’t really motivate me either. I think mainly the economy of the local food banks inspired me.
See, over Thanksgiving I discovered that $20.30 could feed one senior through Loaves and Fishes for one week. Then, looking into Oregon Food Bank over the holidays I discovered that, using their resources, they can convert a dollar donation into six pounds of food. And if you want to buy one meal for the homeless at the grocery store? $1.80.
It’s pretty amazing that I could buy Delivered Dish for myself for a week, or I could feed myself and a couple of homeless people.
I’m not giving up the denim addiction though. We all have our greed. If you don’t, you can be a Saint for both of us.
