RE: Helping for the Sake of Helping: Giving Away Free Food to Love Change Into Being

in #food8 years ago

SUCH beautiful work! I do not think there is a better way to show love than feeding people.

I think by feeding others we show them that we accept, support and love them. It's like we welcome them into our family, like inviting them into our house and sharing food with them.

A study of primates showed that sharing food with others is often seen as the most intimate of activities and is a very strong bonding activity showing 'equality' and 'belonging' amongst those who eat together.

So that's why I love your work, it not only nourishes the body through good food but also the soul through the love, energy, acceptance and belonging that it fosters in the world!

Wishing you well in all your work and a beautiful day today,

Will ;-)

THANK YOU for seeing what we are REALLY doing!!! YES, that's what it's all about! We're doing this every single day whether anyone else notices or not, because we recognize that it's up to us to make this world a place we want to live in, but it is definitely motivational to us when we can inspire others to be part of the change as well!

Thanks a lot, Will!

I agree with you that eating together can be good for the soul. When we go out to feed the homeless, many have been moved to tears just believing someone cared. It's truly a blessing to be of service to our fellow man. Thanks for your beautiful comment @willstephens.

Next year I will be part of a group taking a bus around the UK offering Free Meals and Listening Circles to people in communities and especially young adults ;-)

People can truly benefit from such a worthy venture. People get so moved when they receive personal attention, free food or even a smile. I'm sure you will make a difference in the lives of those you touch. What a great gift @willstephens.
