Yesterday I got to go to SPAN and meet the executive director and a photographer from the Severna Park Voice. They were both very nice, and welcomed SRC to the cause of caring for the needs of the less fortunate. I toured the administrative offices, and went downstairs to the basement where the pantry is housed. We staged some photos there, and then talked for a few minutes. It was a very nice trip. The director mentioned that our contribution was much larger than groups usually do at Giant. In fact, we gave so much that SPAN called the North County Emergency Outreach Network to come and get some of the food for their pantry.
It's so exciting to be part of something bigger than yourself. Compassion lived out moves us from selfish living to selfless giving.
