  • I'm Pulling A Second Harvest Truck!

    Hi Friends,

    I'm pulling a truck!

    On July 14, I will be pulling a truck in support of Second Harvest, a charity that collects good food from grocery retailers and redistribute these food to people in need.

    Second Harvest is Power Unit Youth Organization's (PUYO) beneficiary for 2013. If you don't already know, I've been involved with PUYO for over a decade. So whenever you ask me, "How was your weekend?" and I respond with a "Did nonprofit stuff" - this is it.

    I'm pulling a truck for two reasons:

    • PUYO Beneficiary Team has worked hard to put this initiative together, I want to support them.
    • Having to beg for food is not easy. A dollar or two won’t hurt most of us. But, it could make a difference to some people.

     

    A long time ago, an acquaintance told me he once got hogdog-robbed. A vagabond ran away with my friend's hotdog while my friend was strolling down the street. The topic came up because we were waiting for our hotdogs. It was supposed to be a funny story but it made me sad. To take such a high risk for something as small as a hotdog, the vagabond must be really hungry.
