Trick-or-Can

Tonight Cat and I participated in a Trick-or-Can with the University of Utah's Bennion Service Center. We basically walked around, knocked on people's doors, and asked them to donate cans of food for the Utah Food Bank. Even though flyers were circulated the week before, no one seemed to be ready for us coming. No matter, though, as people were still willing to go look in their cupboards and come back with what little or a lot they had. There was a lot of beans, some cream of chicken, a big can of crushed pineapple, a jar of Adam's peanut butter. The night was cold and I couldn't feel my toes, but it was all worth it to think of the blessing the food would be for people who needed a little help.

As Cat and I walked around in our Ghostbusters costumes (pictures of our totally awesome get-ups will follow with the subsequent Halloween post) we talked, met some very nice people, and enjoyed the night serving and being together. Hopefully we can all remember those less fortunate than ourselves, not just at the holiday season but year-round, and donate something today.
