You were collecting food for the homeless through a coalition in Elizabeth. I was with my mom and was a young teenager, so impressed that you were using poetry to help people. I remember all the people in the room and all those bags of food. I no longer live in NJ but I volunteer at a church food pantry here in Tennessee. You never know how your poems and examples will touch people -- they sure touched me!
