I When Jessica Clark was walking in her neighborhood one day she saw a cupboard full of books near the park. There was a sign on it that said: Little Free Library. Many neighborhoods have these libraries on the streets. Everyone can take books from them for free. When there aren’t enough books, neighbors bring more books to the library.

II These libraries gave Jessica an idea. She wanted to help people in her neighborhood who didn’t have enough money to buy food. So she decided to put a cupboard with free food on the street.
III Jessica put the cupboard near her home. She wanted people to know about the cupboard. So, she took pictures and wrote an article about it for her neighborhood newspaper. She watched what was happening with the cupboard for a week. She saw that many people took food. Other people filled the cupboard when it was empty.

V Three months later, Jessica heard that people in other towns and even other countries were building their own free food cupboards. “It’s amazing that people care so much for others,” says Jessica. “I hope this will help more people who can’t pay for food. This will also give people other ideas about how to take care of their neighbors.”
