What the heck @bathbodyworks and @USPS ?! First this order was “delivered” yesterday and now it’s shown up like this… it also took over 2 weeks to deliver when the other half got here a week ago… DO BETTER!!
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
So many teachers just want to see their principals outside of the office and that hurts my heart.
Principals being out of their offices should be the rule and not the exception.
I feel honored that at our Quarterly Review, I was the first recipient of the TCB token. The #takingcareofbusiness token is awarded to those who display a clear demonstration of CI Health Groups core values. I am thankful that my hard work is noticed, seen, and recognized.
Thank you @McNeil_PTO, @TrailPreston and @rbfcu for the fun concession stand snacks in the @McNeilElem lounge today! What a fun way to get through a busy day!
