WD reminded everyone that today was the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Our postman would be collecting donations as they delivered the mail. "Let's be generous," she said as she pushed her snooter into the pantry.
"Wow! There are SIX cans of soup here! Into the box," WD started the discussion. Zsofia and Opal were over by the shelves. "We can share dried pasta," Opal said. "It is good for several meals," she brought over two packages and added to Steve's box. "And what is pasta without sauce?" Zso wooed as she nudge two jars off the shelf and rolled them over to the collection.
Roman was standing, feet on the counter, looking up to the cupboard. "An assortment of canned beans would be nutritious. And they can be used lots of ways.," he said.
"Blueberry muffin mix," Bella shouted from the living room. "It would be a nice Sunday breakfast treat. Being poor should not mean you can't enjoy a treat."
"Oh, mac and cheese. Who doesn't love that?" Nilla added.
Steve's box was nearly full. "I just picked up powdered milk to restock our supply but I can get another later." He added the box to the stash.
"Can we squeeze in one more thing?" Bailey and Tizenegy said at the same time. "We have those sample packets of dog and cat food. Can we add those?" "I don't know if they will accept pet things but let's assume yes," Steve told them. "Good!" Tizenegy ran over and counted. "We have 5 dog food samples and 3 for cats." Bai tucked in a bag of lentils.
Just then Pearl sounded the alert. Bella ran out to the kitchen. "The mailman is coming! We HAVE to get this box on the doorstep. STAT!" The Army blizzarded Steve to the door and barked to make sure the postman knew he was to take THAT with him. The WDA song followed him back to his truck where he deposited the box before continuing his route.
"I think we helped," White Dog said, "but that task made me hungry." She was met with an Army's agreement. "Any chance there might be a good job reward?
