A heartwarming note from a kind Oklahoma sandwich shop owner to a dumpster diver

"To the person going through our trash for their next meal. You’re a human being and worth more than a meal from the dumpster. Please come in during business hours for a classic Pb&j, fresh veggies, and a cup of water at no charge. No questions asked. – your friend, the owner."

This is a very touching note written by Ashley Jiron, owner of the P.B. Jams sandwich shop in Oklahoma. She left two notes for the dumpster diver but nobody came to redeem the free meal.

From Ashley's Facebook entry dated April 6, 2015

"If you happen to see the person, please stop and tell them this for me. I will NOT take down this sign until this person has come in. And the signs I have posted in back, keep getting ruined by the rain

UPDATE: after the wind took the laminated copy, I figured out a way to keep it attached in back - 30 strips of clear, yet durable, tape."

Sometimes we all need a helping hand to pull us through difficulties.

"If I can be that one person to extend that hand to another human being then I will definitely do it,” Ashley said in an interview.

Way to go, Ashley !!!

On April 12, Ashley started a "#ShareTheNuts" campaign to provide free meal for people in need. Anyone can donate money in person or via GoFundMe. P.B. Jams will donate any money collected not being used by the end of the month to a local homeless shelter.
