Many of the people I help take care of in Seattle go to the food bank to get their food.  Regularly people ask me to help make sure that they finish their doctor’s appointment with enough time left in the day that they are able to get to the food bank before it closes; some folks get really stressed about the possibility of not making it there in time.... not sure where their next meal will come from.  Today I’m putting up for sale a new painting of Randal in exchange for 1,000 cans of chicken noodle soup to be donated to a neighborhood food bank!  I’ve never worked in this kind of currency but there’s always a first!  Good art for a whole lot of warm food!
