    “I donated because I didn’t want anybody to be hungry and I would feel bad for them if they died.”

Emma Ellis, 9

    “I donated because if they don’t eat they might go to starvation and they might die.”

Calvin Hersey, 8,
Third grade, Caribou

    “I donated because I had a lot of food and I felt bad for the people who didn’t have that much money because they’re living on streets. It almost made me want to cry because they’re out there alone with no food.”
