I worry this story is approaching "orphan crushing machine" areas - in that it's a "feel good story that has bad things at its heart", namely past trauma and hunger.
But we're dealing with a lot of pain and fear and harm and are fighting back against that.
Just seeing the joy on this bakers face and the joy on the gleaners face when they interacted and the joy that folks had when they picked up the food from the fridge bolstered me and gives me hope.
The world and several people in it can be terrible, but we can push back, fight back, and protect ourselves and take care of our neighbors.
And we are.
