I don't usually post fundraising type stuff here, but Little Miss Flint, who does a lot of community fundraising work in Flint, Michigan, runs an annual school supply drive to get kids in her community outfitted with everything they need for back-to-school, from clothes to school supplies and everything.
Her storage unit was just robbed and vandalized, and they lost almost everything, right before the back-to-school rush. So they're starting from scratch, with less than two weeks to go.
Flint is one of the poorest cities in the US and a lot of these kids depend on the clothes and supplies they receive through programs like these.
I know money is super tight all around right now, but if anyone has a few extra bucks they wanna kick in, Little Miss Flint's GoFundMe is here.

Deadly egg recall
ALTThe FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to “Class I,” its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”
The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.
According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.
Recalled eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico.
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico are the currently affected states.
Homeless friend in need of food
Hey yall. I have discussed my homeless friend Dan sensitively on all 3 pages before. But he's not just an experiment on this page to extend the kind of help I offer to others. He's a 20 year old I regard as a kid in need of an olive branch from safe community. I had the power to feed him when we met. And so I consider my obligation to try for someone I care for.
After I stopped moving money for others in my personal accounts, we fell out over the boundary.
But Dan has no stability, a small network and often no food. He's a human being I care for deeply who deserves to eat. If mutual aid is for anything, it's this.
I am setting a small goal of 200 usd for him. To make sure he is fed over the next few weeks. And lucky for Americans in some ways because I'm certain I can point him to more resources, personally.
His cashapp is $fqyn
And I appreciate your faith and trust and me on this matter. Thank you for feeding my friends.

Hey its been awhile and there are few notes on this post but Dan's been hitting me up for cash recently and this week I am specifically tight because I just paid rent and have weekend plans (for my sanity) and so I just am gonna queue this post to ask that anyone who can help this dumb kid eat, do that. It would make no sense regardless of my feelings about his insistence on being hands off to not include him in my mission when I have the power to help someone struggling and he hasn't wronged me. I still have his blessing to share and make these posts and that is the best I can do.
200 dollars would help him eat for two weeks if he's smart with it. And so! I am resetting his goal to 200.
Okay. Okay.
