the clean team



these two stare at me until my car pool arrives. i have no excuse. the car pool ladies are always late. i just hate to clean and vacume out my car.

the least i could do is throw out my disgusting mcdonald's coffee cups and wrappers.

i only do it when it's my turn to drive.

pockets of poverty lake county, illinois




rumour has it that senior citizens who have pets will share their meals that they receive from Catholic Charities. they either can not afford to buy dog or cat food or they can't get to the store. so an effort from the local youth ministry put together these packages of dog and cat food so that the seniors would eat the meals that are delivered to them. by disguising the food as a valentine the seniors can 'save face' and accept the gift. volunteers are changing the hearts to clovers for St. Patrick's Day.
