Random Acts Of Kindness (28)

As most of you on here know by now, I work in a kitchen, keeper of the local tomain as I refer to myself. Well just about every night as we're closing down the kitchen, there's always quite a bit of food left over, and the things we can't keep over night, like mashed potatoes, salads, coffee, and other stuff, we normally threw out. I live in Surrey and if anyone knows this area at all will know that there are quite a few of homeless people that hang around the Surrey Central skytrain station all night. One night when I was walking home, someone asked me if I had some lose change I could spare, and swore it was for food and nothing else. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him 5 bucks and told him I hoped it would help and that was all I had on me at the time. I forgot my keys at work and had to go back for them, on my return trip home again, I saw that same guy, and he was trying to buy drugs with the 5 bucks I gave him, that's when I came up with the idea. Now when I leave work, I take some of the take-out boxes along with some plastic forks, and when I walk home, whenever someone asks me for money for food, I give them the food instead. I now have several people waiting for me when I walk home, and although it is just food we'd normally throw out, it still gives me a good feeling knowing someone's not going completely hungry tonight
