One generous 5-year-old

Here's more inspiration for you to give of your time or money or even just your cans.

A 5-year-old girl in San Francisco [1] raised $3,736.30 for the local food bank by collecting cans and other donations as a part of a project at her day care. Her donation will provide people with 17,800 meals!

She became determined to help hungry people after seeing a homeless person holding a sign asking for money. While her parents and day care provider supported her efforts, they never thought she'd actually succeed to reach her goal, $1,000, let alone quadruple it. But once word got out, the money started rolling in, little by little.

Toan Lam who founded GoInspireGo.com [2] and created an online video about the girl's project, wrote this on Huffington Post [3]: "The simple question I pose to you is, if a 5-year-old girl can feed thousands, WHAT CAN YOU DO? 'Anything is possible' is a cliché. Except when it isn't."
