i read about this the other day and it was a pleasant change from the usual bad news i read about. wal-mart held a social media contest (and probably one of the first of its kind) where a "like" on facebook counted as a vote. the city with the most votes (salt lake city!) won a million dollars for the utah food bank to help feed those who are homeless in the city.
i know everyone has their different views of wal-mart, but a donation of a million dollars seems to be a pretty big deal. so congrats to salt lake city!! i'm especially excited about it after i met a homeless person this summer who called himself gigi and picked me flowers.
i sure hope gigi gets a few good meals in courtesy of wal-mart's generous donation!!
these feel-good stories remind me that our country isn't totally screwed. which is a nice thought after always reading in the paper about violence, natural disasters and death all the time. haha. happy thursday!
