For those not in the Huddle, we are current studying Ron Sider's
Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger and John R. Schneider's
The Good of Affluence. Our second meeting last week saw some brainstorming about how we are better aid the needy and steward our resources. This post is meant to give us a convenient place to brainstorm further. Post ideas! Even if they occur to you half a year from now, post away. Here are some ideas to start with, from last Friday:
- Write a letter to your congressperson, local store, etc.
- Buy used clothing
- Start with the basics, such as looking to buy minimally packaged goods.
- Gradually get educated regarding fair trade companies
- Check out Slavery Footprint
- Do activities such as walk for homeless, raising money via 5k run, etc.
- Donate items you don't use much to shops like Second Thought Resale Shop etc.
