While she was prawn-fishing over the weekend, B.C. resident Katherine Kirk devised an ingenious way to feed those in need.

91裸聊视频淚 was91裸聊视频� having a chat (with my son91裸聊视频檚 fiance) when she commented about this 91裸聊视频榩aying it forward91裸聊视频� (formula) to help people who are less fortunate than us,91裸聊视频� Kirk said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e seen other restaurants in other towns doing it (so) I came home and just posted it on my Facebook page.91裸聊视频�

Owner of Yummies & Gyros Greek Cafe in Courtenay, Kirk adopted this new tactic, currently gaining traction in Canada and the U.S., on April 8.

As the owner explained, the idea behind this concept is quite simple.

91裸聊视频淲hen people buy a lunch, we91裸聊视频檒l put the receipt (with their name) on the bulletin board,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淲hoever needs a lunch can come and pick from the board and then submit the receipt to us at the till and they can get a free lunch.91裸聊视频�

In turn, the names of everyone doing a good deed will enter a draw to win a free meal in the future.

Observing firsthand the financial challenges many face due to rising living costs, Kirk emphasized that small acts of kindness can significantly impact someone91裸聊视频檚 day.

91裸聊视频淚 found people eating out of the garbage can and I91裸聊视频檝e given them food, sleeping bags and some hot chocolate,91裸聊视频� said Kirk. 91裸聊视频淏ut this isn91裸聊视频檛 just for the homeless people; it91裸聊视频檚 for the single moms, the people that are living in trailers (or) in their cars and the families that are struggling with five kids.91裸聊视频�

Twenty-five years ago, Kirk was a single mother on welfare before taking over the family business from her sister. Today, her restaurant sustains her and enables her to give back to the community; it91裸聊视频檚 in this spirit that she invites everyone who has the means to follow suit.

91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檝e had people coming in (to buy) some lunches and take them down to the guys at the recycling store (or give it to) people that are homeless out here,91裸聊视频� she said. 91裸聊视频淭here are a lot of amazing people in town who have a lot of money and want to help out.91裸聊视频�
