Tom's project is a classic case in infectious generosity. In preparation for his grant application, he shared the idea that he would buy $500 worth of meals from his local community food truck with his friends and family. Asking if anyone would join him, he had already raised $6,590 in anticipation of his act. So our $500 in his hands suddenly became $7,090 and will go on to cover hundreds of meals for those that really needed it.
