Times were tough in our household. My husband was out of work and there was no sign of anything      for him. In addition to going to nursing school full-time, I was working three part-time jobs        to put food on the table for our family of five.
After a rather        meal one night, I answered the ringing phone. With no       , a voice asked,“Do you need food? Come to my place and I can help you.” Directions followed and he hung up the phone. No in-depth conversation or queries as to our         situation. It was up to us to decide whether we         a voice on the telephone.
I was desperate. With            food in the cabinet and no prospect of a job for my husband, I had to take a         , swallow my pride, and accept the strange offer. Was there a            ?  When I uneasily got to a ranch home as            ,I found there was no car in the garage.            , lined up in orderly rows were tables filled with varieties of food. A craggy（轮廓分明有皱纹的）gentleman          me, not much different than our phone conversation! “Look around. If you see what you want,            yourself.”He handed me paper bags and turned to another new arrival, passing along the same            .This couldn’t be real!
I guiltily filled the paper sacks with what          needed and gratefully thanked the elderly man. “Be here next week. You’ll          of the food by then” was his reply.
Then I learned the thing. Widowed and retired, he wanted to do something          in his golden years to fill his time. Daily, he drove his pickup truck and begged for            items and canned goods from local grocery stores and            folks like us who had fallen on hard times.
I never knew what our weekly menus would be         I had “shopped” in the garage, but I knew, with our bellies full, we could focus on paying necessary bills.
