Helping for the Sake of Helping: Giving Away Free Food to Love Change Into Being

in food •  7 years ago 

We gave away a few hundred pounds of food today!



The people who came by were very grateful for the abundance we shared. 

One gentleman had been to a few food banks and encountered great difficulty in getting assistance. A church even denied him food when he revealed that he did not have a religious affiliation!



This is why we exist. There is a problem with values in this country. We have an abundance of resources, but people are expected to perform in order to get them.

We don't agree with those standards. A better way is possible!



Every human being has a right to food, air, water, and shelter regardless of how much money they have or what beliefs they hold. 

As long as everyone tries to control everyone to be like they are, holding judgment and manipulation, then we will not progress to peace and harmony.

We must learn to love for the sake of love and to agree to disagree. It is when we help for the sake of helping that we inspire and touch. Then maybe change is possible. Not because we forced it, but because we loved it into being!


This is why we share prolifically. @quinneaker dreamed up a better world, and we spend our energy, time, and resources in being the change to make it so.

Selflessness and kindness to the less fortunate is how us humans are meant to live, not fight each other and play out politicians imperial and geopolitical whims.

Agreed!

How beautiful it is to connect with you @allahhh. This project IS awesome and I'm grateful that you can feel it. I love that we can come together and shine the way to a better feeling reality. @quinneaker will be writing some amazing posts soon on parenting. He is the best parent I have ever known, hands down. He has so much value to share, I hope you'll stay tuned into his posts, it looks like you will appreciate what he has to say.

May we be blessed to come together for common purpose. Would delight in a trip to the waters. WE will check into your came and big project. I appreciate your presents/presence here.

Congrats on investing time in your daughter - no better playmates could we have in the whole world.

Right on.. stoked to be in sync.. want to make sure you know that this is Tamara's friend.. i stayed at your house years ago on our way to Mexico, in the purple bus.. anyway.. looking forward to connecting more. Aloha!

I felt we had some kind of connection already--how fun it is to reconnect. I remember well that visit--intensely wonderful times were those! Glad to see you back our way, if only through the internet. I'm sure we will have much to share. Blessings to you @allahhh.

SUCH beautiful work! I do not think there is a better way to show love than feeding people.

I think by feeding others we show them that we accept, support and love them. It's like we welcome them into our family, like inviting them into our house and sharing food with them.

A study of primates showed that sharing food with others is often seen as the most intimate of activities and is a very strong bonding activity showing 'equality' and 'belonging' amongst those who eat together.

So that's why I love your work, it not only nourishes the body through good food but also the soul through the love, energy, acceptance and belonging that it fosters in the world!

Wishing you well in all your work and a beautiful day today,

Will ;-)

THANK YOU for seeing what we are REALLY doing!!! YES, that's what it's all about! We're doing this every single day whether anyone else notices or not, because we recognize that it's up to us to make this world a place we want to live in, but it is definitely motivational to us when we can inspire others to be part of the change as well!

Thanks a lot, Will!

I agree with you that eating together can be good for the soul. When we go out to feed the homeless, many have been moved to tears just believing someone cared. It's truly a blessing to be of service to our fellow man. Thanks for your beautiful comment @willstephens.

Next year I will be part of a group taking a bus around the UK offering Free Meals and Listening Circles to people in communities and especially young adults ;-)

People can truly benefit from such a worthy venture. People get so moved when they receive personal attention, free food or even a smile. I'm sure you will make a difference in the lives of those you touch. What a great gift @willstephens.

Great work. Randy mentioned i should follow you. So i do now!!

Thank you, @thearcanebear, and thanks Randy @hilarski!!!

my pleasure, love what you are doing over there! Important.

We really appreciate your support! Helps us stay focused.

Highly Appreciated

thanks for inspiring me to help people,u determined me to do blood donation coz i am like a bit scare but thinking this might help ppl who need,i really should go.

Glad we can inspire you to action, @angelababy. Everybody does what they can. Hopefully we can inspire people to go to greater and greater lengths and try harder and harder to make this world our dream place!

Always giving back is awesome! 😀😋

Everybody wins!!!

You have done it. I have been waiting for this post and I hope your give away will continue.

So nice to see the happiness on people faces. It gives you immense satisfaction that you are doing something very good.

Keep the good work going !

Thanks, @cryptokraze! We feed free meals every single day. We provide free housing to people in need every single day. Every single day, we produce more than we consume, and we serve more people every day! It is indeed a blessing to live such an epic existence!!

Its true

This is really inspiring for me.and everyone, it should be.
Everyone if start giving some little part from their blessings to those who are in need then this world will be a heaven.

Yes!!!! We already have all the resources available to provide for everyone in need! We could end world hunger with the resources we already have!!! Sharing is the key, and caring is the key for sharing.

Good

Oh yeah!

In 2012 I helped start a community garden in my town to help feed people. It's still going today and everyone in that neighborhood helps out and grows food together. It's amazing what you can do with a little dirt, seed, water, and a bunch of volunteers who care. I enjoyed your post, keep doing the what you're doing and spreading the love.

Wonderful, that is really heart warming to hear!!! It really doesn't take much to help each other, and everybody wins! Those in need get food, the volunteers get a nice workout and camaraderie, and the Earth is respected and protected in a little way. Good job to you too, @zacharyscottrose!

Great job..appreciated...well done & best wishes for future..upvoted

Thank you, @bibek!!

You welcome..@gardenofeden

Good folks don't discriminate. Thumbs up 👍🏻

Two thumbs up! 👍 👍

Great work! :)

Thank you @makshay5!

Whoever is kind/generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. Bless you more!

Life keeps getting better and better!! Thank you, @smartinvestigate--may you too be blessed!

wow great job

Thanks!

B"H! May we all emulate you and finally learn to always receive, for the sake of bestowal...

Truly to receive is to give, and to give is to receive! May we continue to inspire real change in this world! Blessings, @inphiknit~*~

Amein, and I ask the same for you!

You're very right... I wish I knew when I was younger that I could give by receiving... Instead I only received, for the sake of receiving itself. (Now my unearned bread is very big....) But now, I can finally see that I can either eat my favourite meal that mum lovingly made special for me, for my enjoyment, or just by flipping a switch, I could eat it for her enjoyment...

Now, just gotta keep remembering to flip the exact same switch on each desire, each time they arise!

gotta keep remembering to flip the exact same switch on each desire, each time they arise!

Exactly! That's what master training is all about!

And whether we like it or not, we're all in master training class!

Thanks for believing in the cause and pushing through w everything!

We are hardcore dedicated to a better world for ALL! Thanks @kalenlctan!

We're happy to inspire you, @tohamy7!

Wow! What a great thing you guys are doing! It shouldn't matter what a persons belief system is, everyone needs to eat!

And food is so abundant! We have more than enough to share, we just have to get it to the people!

Great way to give back ;) awesome

Thanks, @bryanlai98!

It was those church operatives who were not true Christians for turning away someone in need.

Great work!

Epitome of hypocrisy! Sad to see that reality play out in society time and time again, but we do what we can to be the better way. Hope to inspire everyone to do their part to be the change! Thanks for your support, @borepstein!

Great work for humanity!
God bless you all.

Many blessings to you, @mcekworo!

Thanks
