Day 242: 25 cents to Share the Bread
I'll admit that today's donation is on the lean side--even close to pitiful--but I will attempt to defend the meagerness of it anyway. First, I have one more day until my paycheck is deposited and as always happens in August, I'm a little closer than I'd like to be to poor. Second, I was treating myself to a Panera coffee this morning (I love the ability to add your own skim milk and cinnamon there) and I had absolutely no cash. I had to buy my coffee with my debit card, but before I headed into Panera, I grabbed all the coins that were in the change holder in my car (they were mostly pennies) and added them up. Sure enough, I was able to give 25 cents to Share the Bread, and I'm guessing I was even one of the first people to donate today. Here's what I'm wondering: after my year of giving is over, will I continue to donate at Panera or will the Share the Bread box fade into the background, becoming invisible to me on the counter?
