We’re in December! It’s almost the holidays and we’re thinking of where we’re gonna spend them, what we’ll be cooking, presents… So many things to worry about… What do you call those? Oh yes, FWPs… First world problems… Most of us have these kinds of problems, but many people have real problems. They are not wondering what they’ll be eating for Christmas because they don’t even know if they’ll have food tomorrow. Food insecurity is not fun, especially if others depend on you. We have some friends that for the holidays always make backpacks with food supplies and toiletries that they then hand to people in a situation of homelessness. But there are people who do this every day of the year! That is the case of Machael Casper. For the last 5 years she’s been running Milk Crate Kitchen.
