We intentionally feed:
2 humans;
26 goats;
2 donkeys;
11 chickens;
10 or 12 goldfish;
6 to 8 deer;
unknown numbers of wild birds;
& anyone who drops by at mealtime.

Unintentionally fed:
2 foxes;
any critter that gets to it before the livestock does.

Oh, and a partridge in a pear tree. Couldn't resist the Holiday Spirit.:laughing:

4 humans
2 dogs
1 cat

Then there are the bird feeders in my back yard and
the deer feeders on the farm...which the turkey and deer, coons etc love.

We donate to a missionary who is in Vietnam spreading the word and we just adopted a little girl who is part of another ministry program. We also help the neighbor up the street who has been out of work for some time.

That's enough for me but I am sure my wife will find another stray something before too long.

Myself, and I'm feeding that mouth as I type, my wife, my daughter, and three grandsons. That's the human toll on a daily basis but I have another three kids who will show up from time to time always hungry with any number of additional hungry mouths to feed. The more the merrier though. Moving past the human mouths though:

Two dogs and one cat. As I sit and look at the pet total it is surprisingly low. We usually have a menagerie, but I'm good for now with this small group.

Philanthropic contributions to the needy are restricted to children in need such as the St. Judes Childrens Hospital and the MUSC Children's Hospital. As long as I'm fed enough to contribute, they are fed.
