Springhouse Market #Halifax spirit of giving

This wonderful little restaurant business has a community minded program in place to help people in need of food or a warm drink. It's their community meals program. As they put it:

'...we’re thinking a lot about how powerful it is when neighbours take care of each other.

Our Community Meals Program lets you pay it forward. When you buy a meal, soup and toast, or a coffee for someone in need, you help make sure that anyone who walks through our doors can get something nourishing, completely free, no questions asked."

When you buy a coffee ($2), a soup and toast ($7), or a full meal of their choosing, ($14) for a stranger, you get it at a discount and it's given out completely free.

As they say: "We know that this program doesn’t do anything to solve the larger issues around food insecurity in our city. But it is one small, meaningful way we can brighten someone’s day, offer dignity, and make sure a neighbour gets something warm and nourishing when they’re struggling."

You can buy in person or on the website, which is so convenient.

#FlashbackFriday - Black Saturday Bushfires.

Back in 2009, Victoria suffered one of the most significant bushfires it had seen to date...I signed up to volunteer at a donation centre in Wallen...there is always that one interaction that sticks with you. For me, it was a mum who had come in with her toddler.
...
This woman...pulled me into an embrace and cried softly into my shoulder so that her child could not hear her.
...
We do not need to know someone to help them. We do not need to experience their trauma to sympathise with them. We do not need to understand them to be there for them. We do not need to have anything in order to give.
...
When we start seeing what the community can do for us and stop seeing what we can offer to our community, the community loses something special. We all have the ability to make our world a little better for our community. Will you share your time, your heart, your smile with your community?

*The photo below was the certificate sent to me by the Mayor of Whittlesea. I didn't know I was getting it, nor did I expect to receive it and though I am grateful for the recognition, I am more thankful that I was given the opportunity to help others and feel like I was really doing something that mattered to the community.
