In OT, if you pull the goalie and get scored on, you lose the point already earned.

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!

One of the most useful pieces of advice I ever heard, came from an Emergency Room Physician. I was a young Corpsman.

While dealing with a teenager-as I recall-who was involved in a horrible auto accident, and just clinging to life, a nurse was starting to go into an observable tail-spin of frantic thinking.

In the middle of it all, the Dr. paused, placed his hand firmly on the nurses hand, looking her right in the eyes, and very calmly said “It’s his emergency, not yours.”

There was an instant re-set for everyone in the room.

The Dr. knew that if we allowed their emergency to become our emergency, that mistakes would be made, and things would be rushed, or even forgotten.

He knew that the only way you could be at your best, and offer the patient the most, was to let it remain their emergency, while you calmly effectively and efficiently went about doing what you could to save their life.

I used that mindset the rest of my days as a Navy Corpsman, and continue to, this very day.

Let that concept permeate you on a deep level. It’s a life changer.
