Loaves, fishes add up

The Spokesman-Review

I calculated the cost of feeding 5,000 people one meal of tuna fish sandwiches. At the Bakery Thrift Store bread was 79 cents for 10 sandwiches, and at Wal-Mart the best price for tuna was $.77 for three sandwiches. That makes a total of $1,678.59 without any mayonnaise.

Since I personally do not know anyone who can perform miracles, I thought I should remind your readers to consider those who are hungry among us. They should keep in mind, my calculations were for one meal.
