Homer McGinn ran around the corner of the vestibule. Then he stopped.
" Homer stop!" Emily McGinn tiredly said as she caught up to her son.
" Mommy". He pointed  toward a white box on top of a brown plastic coffee cart. " Can I have a cookie?".
" Just one". She handed him a chocolate chip cookie.
He pointed toward some people who were putting cans into a large decorated box. " Mommy, what are those people doing?".
" They are putting cans of food in there to help feed people without a home".
" People without a home?".
Emily smiled at her young curious son. " Remember the man we saw downtown looking through the big green trashcan".
" Mommy, he looked so sad".
She smiled. " Would you like to put a can in there next Sunday?".
Homer nodded.
The following Sunday, Homer put a can of green beans into the box.
