“We have a chance to do something extraordinary.

As we head out of this pandemic we can change the
world. Create a world of love. A world where we
are kind to each other. A world were we are kind no
matter what class, race, sexual orientation, what
religion or lack of or what job we have. A world we
don't judge those at the food bank because that may
be us if things were just slightly different. Let love
and kindness be our roadmap.”
