While sitting in the drive-thru of Taco Bell, the
Fichtner family was getting ready to pull up to the window to pay for their
meal when the cashier informed them that the customer ahead of them in line had
paid for their order.
“My children, Nathan age 10 and Katie age 7, had
never experienced this type of random kindness before and were very pleased. So
I asked them what we should do to pay [the meal] in forward and they suggested
donating the money to a food bank.” explained mother Eve Fichtner in a letter
she wrote to Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services (SFBFS).

With their minds made up, Nathan and Katie pooled
together $25 from their own savings and enclosed the contribution in a donation
envelope which accompanied SFBFS’ newsletter in an effort to keep the ‘cycle of
kindness’ going strong.
The staff at SFBFS would like to thank youngsters
Nathan and Katie for their donation. Every last little bit goes a long way.
