'Those kids are waiting on me.' A Missouri mom of six gives out more than 100 lunches every day to kids in her neighborhood.
Every school day around 2:30 in the afternoon, a familiar sight pops up on a street in a St. Louis neighborhood.And every afternoon, for the next three hours, kids from Anderson’s neighborhood run from the school bus to her home to get something to eat.
She started handing out food after noticing that friends of her kids were often hungry when they were over at her house. She also frequently saw kids asking for change outside a nearby gas station and wanted to help. "I tell them, 'No, we don’t need an emergency room visit tonight,' and they laugh," she said."I love them."
Anderson's kids and their friends help her pack the lunches. She's been known to also serve an on-the-go breakfast to kids who are running late for the school bus in the morning.

Five Two Essential Kitchen Towels, 100% Cotton, Absorbent, French Windowpane ChecksWe’ve got a great new recipe for making just about anything—and making it better. So when you told us what we needed to do to give the basic kitchen towel a Five Two upgrade, we got right to it. 36,000 votes from our community said it all: Some of you asked for towels that were highly absorbent and lint-free. Others wanted a design that was both smart and good looking. And still others weighed in, asking for a thicker weave that sops up liquids and handles hot pots easily. With our own design expertise guiding the process, we came up with not one, but two styles—a dynamic duo of complementary weaves that conquer every task you set before them: A quick-drying flour-sack design: Ideal for glass-drying and crumb-swiping, this superstar leaves no lint behind and can be used for dish duty as well as covering bread dough while it rises. It also serves as a mixing-bowl stabilizer (just dampen it, set your bowl on top, and whisk away). Comes in a pack of 4. An ultra-absorbent utility towel: Tailor-made for stopping spills, this plush and extra-durable design can also cameo as an oven mitt or trivet in a pinch (or use it as a nest for warm rolls or fresh corn on the cob). Comes in a pack of 2. Both towels are sized just-right in a 20'x 30' dimension that got the most votes from our community. They’re also crafted in prewashed cotton, so they’re the most absorbent, best-performing towels around. Each features a handy hanging loop—this is a feature on many a kitchen towel, sure, but we scooched ours 15” over so it won’t sag on your counters or floors. With a design inspired by classic French windowpane checks, all sets include two different but complementary patterns—which is oh-so-helpful if you’d like to give each towel a specific task. (Mop up spills with one, dry dishes with the other: Instantly streamline your life). Together, we’re making deliciously thoughtful products for every part of your life, and every room of your house.
