Punk Rockers Are Kind Too
Cro-Mags frontman and vegan author John Joseph told me about Interfaith Community Services, an organization that brings people of all religious persuasions together to feed plant-based, home cooked food to New Yorkers in need. He volunteered at a recent event, and this is what he said about it:
“It’s so cool - yoga peeps, Christians, rabbis, all working together to feed the needy healthy organic, plant-based meals. The elderly woman I was feeding in the photo was 93. She was trapped on the 17th floor of her building for 5 days, no power or water, eating only peanuts. She loved that there was NO meat in the donated meals.”
This organization sounds incredible! Is there a similar one in your community?

I'm sad to hear that an elderly woman was alone for so long :( When Sandy hit Maine, even though I'm a fairly able-bodied disabled person and we didn't get hit all that bad, after the electric had been out an hour, my neighbors came to check on me and my young children. It's organized events like these that really make a difference :) -
Oh what a wonderful organization and how awesome to bless people with a plant based meal!! I hope that the Nashville area will do something like this as well.

That's a lovely story, Alicia, and that group are doing fine work. There are still some good souls out. Thanks for bringing us that, Miss Silverstone. Oh and have a great weekend, Alicia! xox. -
