A Pot of Gatoroni and a Stack of Hope

On Monday night, aka election eve, I made my return to the Rock For Hunger Monday night food sharing in Downtown Orlando. This was the first time I made my way over after the Anti-Feeding Ordinance had been lifted and only the second week Rock For Hunger took over Beautiful Lake Eola.

The new setting is the start of a new beginning for Rock For Hunger. With new board members, initiatives, plans and a new community website in the works, Monday night was a ray of hope that everything Chris, myself and the rest of the gang set out to do a few years ago.

Gatoroni
You see, a little ramen noodles inside of a large gatorade container can turn more smiles, thank yous and good times than most of the businesses I deal with on a daily basis. That Gatoroni is the inspiration that I needed to light a fire under my ass and get some of the operations going.

This year has been a year of growing pains for the Rock For Hunger crew. It's been a growing pain year for the US as well. With everything that has happened; the growing unemployment rate, the bailouts, the election, the War in Iraq and increase in need vs. opportunities to help these needs, there is no time like RIGHT NOW to get involved. Be a part of the Social Change that is happening with young people. Be a part of the difference that can make this place a great place to live, work, raise a family and help those that need to catch a break.

I get curve balls everyday
I swing and miss. But I have a support team that brings me back to the ball game the next day. Within Rock For Hunger, you have that opportunity to bring someone back in the game. Monday night I was a part of that. I am glad I came back.
