Stamp Out Hunger; Stamp In Vegetarian Meals
What if you couldn’t afford to feed your family? What if your parents were out of work and couldn’t provide you with a hot dinner every night? What if you still wanted to eat good, vegetarian food?
This Saturday, May 10, is the 16th annual largest single-day food drive in America. It’s time for Campbell Soup Company and the National Association of Letter Carriers to team up once again in their efforts to Stamp Out Hunger!
All that you have to do is put non-perishables such as boxed and canned goods in a sturdy bag, and set it next to your mailbox before your mailman arrives this Saturday.
Food drives like this are a tremendous help, but they collect a lot of chicken broth, meat-flavored rice mixes, Spam (canned ham), and meaty soups. What if we provide vegetarian goodness for those who need help filling their plate? Just because someone is in need, does not mean that they can’t be
smart enough to choose a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. Let’s help them!
This weekend, put out some or all of these items:
*Canned vegetables, beans, fruits, and potatoes (2 for $1 at the Dollar Tree)
* Box of tofu and soy milk that don’t need refrigeration until open
* Peanut butter
* Sealed container of nuts and trail mix
* Vegetarian soup … better yet, try to find some vegan ones
* Rice and bean box mix
* Healthy grains such as granola cereal, whole wheat/veggie/semolina pasta, crackers, and brown rice
* Tea bags, in a box
* Dried beans, lentils, and other legumes
* Ener-G egg replacer, TVP, and other vegan staples
* Jars of pickles, asparagus, beans, beets, fruit salad, salad dressing, jelly, baby foods, and more
