This morning we saw something we will NEVER forget.
We were at the #Walmart in Southeast #Calgary. We were shopping for some groceries when my stepson saw someone take a package of meat and put it under their shirt and then slowly walk over to their cart. #Food #Hungry #Alberta

This person had very few things in their cart. My stepson knows what I do here at @HarvestHillsYYC & he asked if we could help them.
I said yes we could but that this person would feel ganged up on if we all walked over to them, so I told him to stay here and that I’d walk over.

I walked over to where they had their cart and said “I know what it is like to struggle. I would love it if you’d let me help you and I’d like to pay for your groceries.”
This person looked up at me and said “did you see me take the meat?” I said “yes I did. I’d like to help”.

We have had 2 emergency requests since this was posted. One is for a food hamper for a single mom who is also pregnant and the other is for a family of 4.
We are looking for help with $775.00 which will allow us to help the two emergencies we have had come in during the night.

Note: We have already referred the pregnant mom to the necessary services she needs. This help we are assisting her with is strictly for A food hamper for herself and her growing family.
