What makes this country great

Today we had a meeting with three different Giant Eagle stores. The point of this meeting was to come up with a plan where they give us their extra meat. This hopefully will amount to about 750 pounds per store per week.
Here is the cool part. They want to do this. They are glad to do this. We are not begging on our hands and knees (though I am not above that). They were excited about being able to help out in their community. That was the managers. The employees were even more excited about doing this.
Granted there had/has to be something worked out. Like making sure everything is safe and all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed. But we have people willing and wanting to help their community in need.
It does make me proud of our country. It does make me thankful for the resources we have. It is and always has been the people that make this country great.
