In celebration of Eagan's 150 years, the city has set a goal of collecting 150,000 pounds of food this year for the needy families served by the Eagan Resource Center.
It is a wonderful goal, Leif. I cannot imagine hungry families in our metropolitan areas, but it is an all too true and a tragic reality. These are hard times for many, many people!
Good luck collecting foods. Poverty is usual connected with pre-christmas-time in Denmark, but at the moment there is a general discussion of the subject and it does not seem easy to make a strict definition of poverty.
That's a good goal! Notice, though, this is another post about food! Dost thou think you might have an "obsession"?
And speaking of me getting on exercise equipment - the only exercise I've seen you doing in recent months was raising hand with spoon filled with food to mouth! Heh, heh!
A good display, a good cause, and a good time to remember that so many pounds of food need to be collected because so many are doing without. A contrast with the previous post. Three Rivers Daily Photo

150,000 pounds, wow! How much does a can weigh? I see many there that I remember from childhood.
Very worthy. «Louis» hopes the goal is well-exceeded. No doubt, even in a small city like Eagan, the need is great.
"The beginning is half of the work...." as we say here.
I guess you will reach the goal soon.
That sounds like a very worthy cause!
Leif, that's a lot of food. Causes are great, if meaningful. Providing the needed with food is an important one.
excellent transaction

I hope you reach your goal! Is this an annual thing? How much do you usually collect?
All the Best to the volunteers working on the project !!
I feel compelled to say hello. I work for Thomson Reuters in Rochester, NY, but the majority of my colleagues are in your backyard! Cheers! Renee
congratulations and best wishes!
yes that's definitely a worthy cause!
That's a lot of food, good luck Eagan!
Good luck to you! I'm sure you'll let us know how your drive turns out!
Now that's a wonderful way to celebrate your 150th birthday! Bless you all.
Not a bad way to celebrate 150 years.
A wonderful cause Leif, wish you good luck with reaching your goal.
Good capture of colors, textures and contrasts. Good cause, too!
