SHARING: Helping the less fortunate who don't want to ask

I was struck by a Facebook post today from a generous local woman who encouraged people to check in with their friends and ask, "How are you fixed for food?"
"You might be surprised to know how many middle-class families struggle to put food on the table,  yet are embarrassed to ask anyone (friends especially) for food," she wrote. "Yesterday, a friend offered me fresh produce she had. Once I got it home I saw it was more than I could use. I called another single mom I know and offered it to her. She said my timing was perfect. They barely had any food left in the house. I bagged up more of what we had and took it to her. She never would have asked."
