So many of us are facing ways to be truly creative when it comes to putting food on our tables. I'd like to share another, that might be of interest: gleaning. Food that might have otherwise gone to waste is collected and distributed amongst the pickers and local food banks. Here in Portland, the Portland Fruit Tree Project does just this. It's a win/win for everyone involved. Unfortunately the picking/gathering season is over, but you might want to add it as a possibility for next year. Very timely.

If only we could get some of this food to truly needy people.

We lived next door to a single man that did not like to shop or cook. He paid for all the groceries and I cooked all the meals. I thought I was getting the better end of that deal but he was quite happy to have a home-cooked meal every night. Of course, the arrangement ended when we moved.

It would be amazing to have the option to go "out to eat" any time, without it costing a fortune. Imagine how lovely that would be for singles who might not eat as well as they should, or elderly -- what an opportunity not only for cooperation, but for true community!
